Absolutely correct, the uniroller cargo transfer system can and does allow for multi directional management of ladened cargo containers. These also allow for longer service life of the container loader cargo movement systems as the older style of rubber drive belts needed constant adjustment, and replacement, not to mention the loss of traction during inclement weather, especially when air deicing fluid came into play.

I am reminded of my high school biology and chemistry teacher, Marino Gino Dalessi, Jr. Totally adored by his students. We started our study of biology by reading…Aristotle. I am reminded because there’s this sense not of transmitting just laws and principles, but of loving what you’re learning. Papa Gino, as we called him, did that, and though my predilections have gone in different directions, the fundamental principle that he taught, and which is evident in Prof. Fielding is: don’t just learn…fall in love with what you’re learning. I’m a folklorist and an editor, and that’s cool enough: but in honor of Papa Gino (and yeah, we were aware of the musical pun: but we didn’t “parrot” him), I read Quanta every week. Thank you, Jeremy for reminding me of Gino. Thank you, Gino, for alerting me to Jeremy. Made. My. Day.

During Highschool I was a part of a robotics competition program called FIRST Tech Challenge.

This was an amazing explanation, although Ive been using them for years I never understand quite as well as this.

[@sjsomething4936]

Actually the vast majority of FIRST robotics teams now use swerve drive rather than meccanum, which was popular for mobility but were also avoided by many teams due to their inability to prevent being pushed by defensive robots. FRC mentor since 2017 😉

As someone who was in FIRST robotics I always thought these were so cool, we mainly used them in material centering applications not locomotion. What FIRST used for locomotion was what we called "swerve drive", I think that could be a really cool video going into the deep dive of "swerve drive" in real world applications. I also think you would maybe find it as a fun drive train for your bot because it has both precision and maneuverability.

Current mentor of a very successful FRC team… swerve drives are now the most common and popular drivetrain type in FRC, basically since Covid. Even 254 switched over to swerve from West Coast drive. But you’re 100% correct, we used meccanum for centering the cargo in 2019, as well as the big tennis balls in 2022. Do a search on KZbin, one or more of the mentors of 118 / Robonauts built a swerve drive car about 9 years ago. Search NASA swerve drive car.

I was compering a steampunk event a few weeks ago. One event is teapot racing around an assault course. Most of the racing teapots are radio control cars with a teapot body. One guy showed up with a chasis with Mecanum wheels. Manoeuvrability is key with the event, and tank tread teapots tend to win. We were expecting great things, but the floor of the assault course was a 200 year old factory floor with dents, divots and dings. The moment one of the wheels didn't have solid ground under it then the teapot went flying. So yes, dman cool, awesome in a control environment, but not much good off road or in any out door situation

I would exploit the Mecanum Wheel maneuverability platform by adding a paint pen to the robot so that it can be used to write on the ground in two modes. One mode would print text, the other mode would print a simple vectored image. An optical mouse may need to be added for position feedback. The more expensive version would have ground effects fans so it can print on a wall. Both versions are controlled by a ESP32 phone link with onboard picture capabilities.

[@RyshusMojo1]

Good content. I've wondered about these wheels. I had assumed the separate rollers were also powered but I see now how they work. Something I've always been fascinated by: Tire Contact Patch. It's very small but the physics going on there is impressive. Itty bitty patches where the rubber sticks (hopefully) to the road and keeps the vehicle between the ditches. No doubt the contact patches on the mecanum wheel are crazy. I would imagine there would be extra wear on the wheel and roller bearings?

[@spdcrzy]

Tire engineering is NUTS.

[@VoltisArt]

The bidirectional curved shape of the rollers, like an American football or very wide rollerblade wheel, has a very limited contact surface, which helps with wear. Most wear on wheel is grinding of the outside edges during turns. Generally using these only on smooth and/or painted concrete also helps with that.

[@cripdyke]

I used Johnson high-torque motors because, due to the high friction, I could not make turns with low-torque motors. I controlled the robot with a joystick and HC05 Bluetooth module. It took less time to build the robot than understanding how these wheels work. I wish this video had been available back then; it could have saved me so much time.

[@delauneyfrancois7411]

Hello, I first saw this wheel drive in a monthly publication "Popular Mechanics" from 1967, in France, and I remember that its inventor was a citizen of Hungary. The explanation was very clear, with an air compressor and a distributor that made the wheels turn in one direction or the other, according to a number of revolutions per wheel, which means that the vehicle equipped with these wheels did not need a gearbox, nor a differential(s). Therefore, it is far from being a recent invention, and I think that it has since fallen into the public domain.

[@delauneyfrancois7411]

Hello again, on reflection, I thought I still had the newspaper "Mécanique populaire" which contains this article, and I found it. It is the September 1965 issue, in French version, and appears on pages 70 and 71, under the title "Cest la roue qui marche!". The inventor is Julius MACKERLE, and the entire kinematic chain contains, in addition to the chassis, four walking wheels, an air compressor and a motor to operate the compressor. I tried to find the corresponding issue in the U.S. version, without success so far.

Mate what a result !!!! Congratulations, third times a charm !!!! That nitrous boost at the end to get away from the pack was brilliant !!!!

So awesome! I'm going to make sure my grandson see your channel. I think he has the gift of mechanical engineering. Thanks for sharing.

I just love his videos and projects. He is just great, not only in his technical ability, but the enthusiasm of his explanations.

That was wonderful and exciting to see such a wheel. And your enthusiasm is contagious.

Thanks Jeremy, interesting video. I now understand how the aircraft container loading platforms work using mecanum wheels when they line up the containers to load into the aircraft. The wheels are mounted into the platform of the container lift, they then act on the container to align it.
