Omni-wheels you can buy are normally not that cheap, especially the larger ones. I’ve seen some forklift trucks with mecanum wheels which have slanted wheels around their circumference, but I’m imagining that those are fairly costly. I really want to get hold of a large omni-wheel strong enough for me to ride on, and I’ll talk more about what I’m planning to do with it at the end of the video. So for now, it looks like I have to design and build one.

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 not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to 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.
