Building a Two Omni Wheel Robot: Questions & Answers

[QUOTE="harpoon, post: 6496574, member: 690973"] Hello! I have a somewhat complicated robot project that I've simplified here to hopefully get a quick answer. I want to build a robot with two omni-wheels that looks like the following (not drawn to scale), where the black is the omni wheels at 45 degree angles and the blue is the robot body: [ATTACH type="full"]283571[/ATTACH] A couple of questions, assuming the robot (let's call it the first robot) can balance and the body doesn't touch the ground: 1. Can the robot still move in the y- and the x-direction? 2. Assuming the floor is rough and the omni wheel rollers are rubber, will the robot slide if I push the robot body in the y-direction? Now, for this robot (let's call it the second robot, also not drawn to scale), the arrangement of the omni wheels looks like this: [ATTACH type="full"]283572[/ATTACH] I have the same questions: 1. Can the robot still move in the y- and the x-direction? 2. Assuming the floor is rough and the omni wheel rollers are rubber, will the robot slide if I push the robot body in the y-direction? In my mind, the robot can still move in the x- and y-directions and won't slide when I push it in the y-direction, but I wasn't 100% sure and wanted to confirm my intuition here. Thank you in advance! Please let me know if I need to clarify anything, and I apologize if this post is confusing. [/QUOTE]
