We’ve just catched a glimpse of our new robot base platform. It is an omni-directional design with three motors. We’ll fetch it today so we can perfom some tests this weekend. It looks great and we’re very confident of achieving our goal.
Please see the pictures below for a more close up view. It’s better, and actually easier for me to just put some pictures here than to write a vague, longish, and inaccurate description :)
The base platform from the bottom. At the verticles there are
the wheel bearings. At the bottom left one wheel is mounted. The
orthogonal wheels of this omni-directional wheel are coated with an
inner tube. This gives really great grip! :)

The base platform as a whole :)
