We recently ran a piece about experimenting with 3D printed omni-directional wheels. In this James Bruton video, he asks the musical question: Can you create omniwheel tank tracks?
The good news is, you can. They work quite well. The bad news in that they don’t take kindly to climbing over even the most low-profile obstacles. James plans to do more experimentation to see if he can create a grippier, all-terrain version of his 3-tread omniwheel tank.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
