The Project Begins

The project has begun. I am endeavoring to design and build a wirelessly controlled omnidirectional vehicle.

The omnidirectionality with be provided by omni wheels (see Fig 1). These wheels can not only produce lateral but also rotational movement. I plan to 3D print these wheels so that I can save costs and develop a wheel that is directly suited to my project.

Fig 1.

I have started to build a rudimentary motor controller to be used in tandem with an arduino (see Fig 2), this controller will be using the L329D. I will also be employing the use of Xbee radio transceivers.
