Screw Wheels
What you're seeing is a demonstration of a car rig that I made with Blender's game engine. This is no ordinary car
... though. It has ONE HUNDRED wheels! By using two directional controls, the vehicle can go any direction and spin on a zero-degree turning radius.I'm not sure where the original idea for this came from, but I saw a robot sporting tires like these at UNC Asheville and got so excited that I just had to try it -- in a more controlled I-can't-break-something-expensive sort of way. :)
