Mecanum Wheels

(OP)
Anyone have some tips or any information (not from Wikipedia...) regarding design of mecanum wheels?
Thanks

RE: Mecanum Wheels

Did you follow the reference link on Wiki?

Full paper is available, and it in-turn has more references that would appear informative.

RE: Mecanum Wheels

(OP)
I have looked at that paper and the references. They are mostly about the control of robotic platforms with mecanum wheels rather than their design.

RE: Mecanum Wheels

A Google search turned up a U-tube video on how they work and two different sites on how to design them.

RE: Mecanum Wheels

(OP)
Thanks for the tip there. I did see the video, but I'm not sure which sites you're referring to.

RE: Mecanum Wheels

ummm ... the point of my post was that I went to Google and entered the two words "mechanum wheels" and explored more than the first hit.  

Sorry to seem mean, but if you can't do a Google search and have to be spoon fed the name of the site that provided design information, then designing is probably not the best field for you.
