Description: Head over to bit.ly/brutonj to start your collection and don't forget to use my unique promo code 'BRUTON' to receive your exclusive Bluetooth Speaker! This is part 2 of testing out omni-ball wheels. This time I've completed the robot chassis with radio control so we can give it a test on various surfaces and over various obstacles. A few years ago, Goodyear produced a concept for a tyre, which was a ball. But are ball shaped wheels practical, and can we make a vehicle or robot with ball shapes omni-wheels? I found a video about research carried out at Osaka University, where an omni-ball wheel is made in two halves and seems to work well. But is there more to it?

There’s a Facebook group and everything: facebook.com/groups/287089964833488 XROBOTS Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it. XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
