I have a question based on one model.  It says "Anthony Fudd, who also built
models for the LEGO MINDSTORMS American RoboTour, showed some very nice
models. One of them was an almost holonomic robot, which had one set of
wheels to drive forward and backward, and one set of wheels to drive left
and right."

Did this model raise and lower the side to side wheels?  Or were both sets
of wheels in contact with the ground at once?  The former option would be
much more complex mechanically, but the latter wouldn't work too well.
Based on the picture I can't tell.

Hi all,
I have made a report with a number of cool videos
(and some photos) from the MindFest. Have a look at:

This was the brick grabber, it scans for black bricks and throws them off the table. It has one set of wheels at right angles to the other and it would raise or lower one set. Lowered, they're in contact and you go in the nominal x direction, (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.robotics)
