Omni /Mecanum wheels

Omni-Directional Wheels
The angled rollers on these wheels allow vehicles to move forward, backward, sideways, and turn in place when each wheel is used with an independent drive. Often used on automated vehicles and in robotics, they are also known as mecanum wheels. A left and a right wheel must be paired together to use all of the movement combinations.

Mecanum and omni wheels let an AGV move sideways. Each roller is a small polyurethane wheel on a precision axle. Roller durometer affects both traction and the current the motor must supply. WSCS builds the roller set to the platform diameter you specify.
