A Killough platform is a triangular vehicle with three "omni-directional" wheels that can move or rotate in any direction. Here is my version using Power Functions motors. The obvious arrangement is to have one motor for each wheel. Instead, for an (...) (17 years ago, 13-Nov-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
