Mecanum Wheels and Advanced Mobility in Trailmakers

me talking about advanced wheel configurations for 10 minutes. also I don't do research at all so don't quote me on anything said here.

favorite trailmakers guy since he makes more unique stuff and shares it too

[@tracepratt1969]

It had not ever crossed my two brain cells to build anything GITS, but sir you have vastly inspired me. Thank you!!!

[@milesmcallister8542]

I also made an Omni wheel vehicle, but the wheels were attached radially, the car wheels were unpowered, and it used 8 wheels per wheel instead of 4. I used steering hinges to attach them

[@ekulgaming6867]

man i love the Tachikoma ghost in the shell robots you did it so well amazing vid keep up the good content :)

[@Nightshardyeet]

Great video! Definetely gonna "steal" some ideas.

[@HungryCloud]

I need to test this on a tank to confirm its practicality. If I can strafe with a tank and move in all direction than surely I don't need a turret and only need the cannon to go up or down. Maybe it is possible to get omniwheels if I piston glitch a couple together.

[@SSS333-AAA]

why the fuck am i getting recommended this 5 days later? i didn't even know you posted it until now. i cannot even bully you for it either cause it is a smart video 😭

[@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTaken]

yeah, idk why its getting a spike in views now all of a sudden but it is.

[@Zane12ai]

those wheels are introesting. Ill need to make a tank wih them later. Anyways, heres a tip i can give to help your channel grow if you want that in the firstplace, just add "Trailmaker" to the end of your name, i know i joked about it previously, however it does represent your content well and will give you significatly more traction in the algorithm. Becuase to be hounest, when someone searches "john", your channel is very unlikley to come up somthing very simular happened with my channel, now sure i didnt put "Zane Animator" but by simply adding my favrite number i gained a significant increase in viewership and subs. This is confirmed by my channel analytics showing most my viewership very suddenly came from direct searches, were talking 83% and sometimes more. This is in contrast to the previous almost constant 6%.

[@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTaken]

yeah i should probably do that. to be fair i am the first thing that pops up when you search "john trailmakers" already but yeah.

[@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTaken]

how do i change my name on here?

[@Zane12ai]

​@@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTakenclick on your channel, then click view channel, and after that click then little pencil thingy off to the side. It will open up that menu. In the events it's different for seprerate device models and platforms, idk. Just play around with some settings menu's untill you find it

[@user-fo1gq4lx5y]

BROBROBRO SEND THIS TO SCRAP MAN IT WOULD MAKE A RLY COOL BUILD BATTLE IDEA! maybe you could join in too!

[@maickelvieira]

7:17 ehehehee how is the lovely tachicoma? Yes you areee!

[@yissettventura6216]

I built one of these (it's called the Omni-Whiplider and The Fellow Omni-Whiplider) and I fixed the thing where ypusometimes go in the direction you don't want too by either balancing the weight, or both that and putting more weight, it has alot less traction cuz of that tho (the whiplider uses more than five dragon engines and most are at its abdomen [is that right? I'll just say it's it's butt]) however the major problem was adding different wheels, idk if its because I put suspension but it got more troublesome. It would not go forward, or shake to much, or even somehow have even less traction.

[@taco_bell9086]

great vid but needs music

[@Nostramadus]

Can you try to build a monowheel with suspension under the normal complexity limit of 700? I didn't manage to build one because it's very complicated.

[@Zane12ai]

I only end up reaching the complexity limit when I armor things up, so either your building to large, not conserving complexity, using far too many high complexity block, or finally, just outright using too many blocks in general.

[@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTaken]

how? just use a truck wheel and some stablizers.

[@DoctorIce_]

Can you make a tutorial on how to do the glitch you used in the combat drone video? I tied copying it, but I just couldn’t work it.

[@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTaken]

no because im lazy and there are already a billion tutorials. the term you are looking for is "seatless rc glitch"

[@Zane12ai]

That's still in the game?I thought they removed it

[@nightswitchmusic]

@@Zane12ai yes i use it as my primary rc method

[@monotonewombat9912]

tachicoma!!

[@sidm8301]

how do you get the tachkikoma to work? whenever I try to replicate it it spins out all over the place

[@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTaken]

its uploaded so fell free to look at it but it uses a separate engine per wheel and a few logic gates.

[@sidm8301]

@@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTaken ooh funky, and I wish I could but I’m on console 😭 thank you

[@ThisIsDumbAllTheNamesAreTaken]

@@sidm8301 ah, there is still a way to transfer the files but its a complicated process. what i did was have the wheels at 45 degree angles and because each wheel had its own engine i can control each wheel individually. for the following assume that green makes the front wheels roll forwards and inwards and that the green direction for the back wheels makes them roll forwards and outwards. (basically they roll diagonally because they are diagonal. now for all the settings: directly on the engines: make green your forwards key and red the backwards key. for non gyro steering use two logic gates. it will operate just like tank steering. to turn right make the gate going into the right side apply a negative value and the gate going into the left side apply a positive value. same thing for turning left. again, in total this steering should only take 2 logic gates. for strafing: same logic as steering but instead of pairing up the wheels on the right and the wheels on the left, pair up the diagonal wheels into sets. so 1 logic gate should control the forwards right and the back left. the other should control front left and back right. flip controls or change keys as needed. that should be all.

[@DeathDoesThings]

Hey wanna check out some of the stuff I’m making?
