This robot is capable of driving in any direction without having to turn. It uses adapted wheels from Steve Hassenplug’s Omni.
One motor drives one pair of opposite wheels, and another drives the other pair. The idea is, one motor move its ”sideways”, and the other, independantly of the first, moves it forward. This cad has no NXT brick, but one could be mounted with a little imagination.
This robot was originally developed for FLL, but it was not accurate enough. However, it would work well with a remote control.
Unfortunately, no pictures were taken of the built up robot, so I had to post the CAD.

How did you make the wheels? The ldr doesn’t work because it refers to subassemblies that aren’t in the download.
Ok, thanks for the wheel ldr. Now I see. That’s a very ingenious design.

Interesting concept. It does look a little bulky you could probably trim it down in size a bit.
