As contradictory as it sounds, t’s quite hard to make something move that’s nothing but a wheel. There’s nothing to push off from.

This project was a beautiful combination of mechanical puzzles, field oriented control, and PID loop after PID loop.

I’ll add some footage of them moving later. If you can’t wait, there’s some on my feed.
