Why this Walking Machine is Really Weird

I’ve built quite a few omnidirectional robots using various types of omnidirectional wheels. Normal omniwheels are a large wheel with smaller wheels around its circumference, allowing it to be driven in one axis, and slide passively in the other.
Using three omniwheels allows a vehicle to move in any direction, although I’ve also built machines with one omni wheel.
Most of my omniwheel vehicles worked ok on flat ground, but they weren’t great at climbing over obstacles. So in this video I’m going to build a omnidirectional walking machine which should be better at stepping over things.

XROBOTS

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and notsouseful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my goto cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
