Father Christmas has come round ... " --- ## and has left a fabulous present in our stockings : deux brand new engines for the wheels. The Mecanum wheels will help the robot to move in all directions. ![roue Mecanum](/proxyPhotos?code=/blog/bob-ross/63aec0fa211fb/75.jpg) ## Actually each wheel is coupled with its own engine. The principle rests on the wheels speeds : if both engines are computed to make the wheels move at equal speed , then the robot will move straight ahead.On the contrary , if the engines are computed to make each wheel move at its own speed, then the robot will move sideways. ## We will keep you informed of our crash tests when the engines and wheels will be assembled. Fun ahead !
