Just found your channel and you have some of the best vex videos on the platform! You should keep making these.

As someone who isn't part of any competitive team, rather a casual robotics club at my school, this is still really cool. I had no idea what those black holey bits were at first

This is amazing! I wish I had this when I started, but still awesome!

also depending on the configuration, the omnis might result in more friction since the rollers are made of rubber and it rubs against the inside of the casing. just fyi.

Nice

It Works. Reliable.

I'm counting Mecanums under omnis. While that may not be technically correct, they share a number of similarities (rollers, allowing for holonomic action, etc.). This is mostly intended when talking about a classic drivetrain, and Mecanums do not really fall under that style of drivetrain.

To stop from being pushed with omni wheels, put a locked omni wheel in the middle of your robot that is facing the other way. This will give you all the pros of omni wheels and stop you from being pushed around.

Id recommend using just using a regular traction wheels because locking the rollers on omnis often damages the wheel

Your screwjoints are wrong, and boxing aluminum whether by more c channel, or boxing with screws, is pretty much always better than using steel

@@AnnonHong a c-channel is "boxed" when you attach two c-channels in a way that it forms the shape of a box. To do this, put two c-channels back to back, then flip one over and slide it so it intersects with the other. Use screws to attach. You will need at least two c-channels to perform this, and after it is done there will be no "channels" sticking out. There will only be a box.

Well, totally not vex making things more complicated by introducing the bluish-gray spacers

They have their uses, The nylon spacers cannot be used next to a wall on a c-channel so the thinner ones are used there or in other tight spots. Before we had them we had to file or sand down the big nylon ones for stage lifts.
