VEXpro Omni Wheels
- VEXpro 217-2613, These wheels roll forward like normal wheels, but slide sideways with almost no friction so you can use them to make your robot turn smoothly or build a holonomic drivetrain. Omni wheels from VEXpro are manufactured from glass-filled nylon with high-traction rubber rollers & are compatible with Versa Hubs for driving with a sprocket or used with bearings for use on an axle. These omni-directional wheels were designed to give the smoothest ride possible. The dual roller design allows for a constant contact patch with a narrow profile. Each roller is tailored for the individual wheel diameter, & provides the correct, constant radius. These wheels aren't "almost round"
- they're actually round. Omni-directional wheel assembly hardware is separate from sprocket mounting hardware. Sprockets are screwed into captive 8-32 standoffs. This allows for easy removal & replacement of sprockets without disassembling the entire wheel, so no more worrying about your whole wheel falling apart just because you wanted to remove the sprocket.
