As you can probably tell, I like the holonomic drive as a platform for robotics. Be sure and take a second to check out this version of the platform with a very simple but effective wheel design:

hey … its cool but do you know how to build a cluster wheel out with the NXT wheel? I dont know because i am used to building with RCX and i dont want to damage other parts. Please reply.

The wheels lag a bit..but I like the whole concept of the robotic rsx. If they sold these I’d wanna buy one!

Works surprisingly well…
Like yourself I’ve had a love of Hollominic & Killough type Platforms for a long time. I was the instigator of having Rotacaster omni-wheels available for the Lego Technic & Mindstorms platforms. It’s been a great development ride and I’ve had fun building lots of Robots to demonstrate their capabilities.
Feel free to visit my Blog: http://www.rjmcnamara.com to see the Robots and Rotacasters in action.
Keep them bots hatching!
