Bruton then assigned three omni wheels to each ball to give this absurd-looking bike the ability to move sideways, forward, and backward. The engineering that went into this project is amazing.

But are ball shaped wheels practical, and can we make a vehicle or robot with ball shapes omni-wheels? I found a video about research carried out at Osaka University, where an omni-ball wheel is ...

to develop the Vex line of programmable robots for youth. Accessories include: a line tracker kit, ultrasonic range finder, optical shaft encoder, light sensor kit, omni-directional wheel kit ...

This is not Bruton's first time experimenting with self-balancing technology and omnidirectional wheels. He previously crafted a self-balancing bicycle with a front omni-wheel mounted sideways and ...
