It's funny to see how people hardly react when you drive around on that. With so many strange contraptions and vehicles it isn't weird for someone to drive around on an omniwheel vehicle xD
Indeed, there were weird things everywhere. Along with what was shown, there were weird installations too, I walked past a tent that was showing silent films with live organ music
If the vehicle drives better sideways, why not just turn the chair 90 degrees and reconfigure the controller? (it would look weirdly asymmetrical, I suppose) Also, have you considered using an accelerometer to detect unwanted rotations and automatically turn to account for them so it'll hold it's orientation even on rough terrain?
A 60 degree rotation would put it into a Y configuration (like a three wheel motorcycle). It's more stable too, especially if you're turning at speed. Also you don't have one of the balls in between your legs.
@@ltjgambrose A 60 or 180 degree change gives you two at the front and one at the back which might be better for a few reasons, but it still leaves you only using 2 motors when going forwards or backwards, the asymmetrical 2 wheels on one side, one on the other configuration would let you use all three motors when going forwards and backwards.
Add another axis, so the chair can rotate independently from the base? sensors and code could keep the chair facing whatever direction is chosen regardless of the base rotation.

Having technical problems in makers events should be like: “yo bro… you need help?! I guess it’s the voltage” with 20 people running to fix it. Anyway British always know how to party! Awesome video!
If it was something simple, yeah. I'm surprised no-one offered a spare belt for the Lgo go-kart, though its possible no-one had one close enough and perhaps more likely that too few people knew about the problem. James's coding issue with his robot I don't know about; how many people could have helped?
This looks like so much fun, they used to have a similar event in the US called the Maker Faire, but it unfortunately got cancelled in most cities due to lack of funding.
I've been to maker fairs and EMF (and have presented stuff on both) and they might seem superficially similar but they are definitely not the same, in a maker faire you're not likely to have talks about how someone got all the *public* data out of those rent a scooter apps and oh it's quite a lot actually, or live try it yourself blacksmithing or a talk about materials used on robot-wars/battle-bots robots or have a laser tag game with 3d printed DIY laser game setup, etc. The public is also very different, maker fairs attract more general public while this attracts more makers creatives and hackers. It's much more like a combo of defcon and burning man for you US people.
Great summary of the event, James. I was the guy dancing with the LED cube. Also really enjoyed your talk and gaining a more in-depth understanding of your and Matt's TH-cam journeys.
crazy experiments, drivable projects, mini race ways, robots, drum n bass and a dance party? What a blast! Haven't had much luck finding omnidirectional wheels for 'general use' but have stopped to watch all your videos on this funky 3 wheeling machine. GREAT stuff!
@@olik136 Its much wider than a standard wheelchair, but it’s center of gravity is higher. So there’s a chance of tipping if you’re doing crazy stuff. And yes wouldn’t be good if you’re strapped in 😂
Looking good! Amazing time, it looks like! Ideas for putting on the platform: * Risable serving tray for food, drinks, or blankets * Robotic claw for taking or serving said items (maybe not drinks) * camera for a 3D AR game Beyond the usual "put a potato gun / trebuchet / ping pong ball shooter" on it I am not sure.
This looks so cool. A great place to share your inspiration with others. One addition I'd recommend is a foot rest. It will help you keep your feet from bumping into anything sensitive, keep your shoelaces away from anything pinchy, and keep you from being tired after holding your legs up while you ride.
Amazing event..so cool and it looked like you had an amazing time! With as much as you build it's great to see you have some fun time! The trike wheeled chair thingy is so neat! Love how it moves!
If you spread the wheels out so that there's a gap the seat can fit it, that would lower c of g. A bit like those tadpole recumbent bikes with one wheel behind your head and the other two either side of your feet or knees. It would be bigger but a bit safer I think. It's incredible how you are able to create such things from scratch.
The Omniwheels look great and plenty of power in hand, better than running it at the limits and stripping teeth. What an amazing camp, must put that on my calendar. Great video.
Hi James, I was staying in the Swift caravan behind you. My kids already followed you on YT and acquired an #OpenDog bone :) You must have gained many followers after EMF, including me.
For an upper attachement something like an engine hoist would be great. Basically using it as a platform to help move and lift heavy objects. I imagine you would fine great use with in your shop.
I actually thought with that Seat it looks like a really cool but strange wheelchair. I can totally imagine it being awesome with a few changes for solidness and to handle strange ground better.
Am watching this while i am getting matching inverse kinematics to my robot and this puts a smile on my face, hopefully where i live (rwanda) theyll organise something like this
This event looks awesome! Wish there was stuff like this near me. But then again I used to live near the SF bay area and barely left the house so this is my fault more than anything.
Ideas for a robot involving the omni wheel could be a butler type thing. Stabilized tray to carry your food and drinks and programmed to follow or find a marker of sorts.
You are doing an excelent work and you are a saviour. To ensure you do this for a long time, Please wear helmet and protective gears while testing your inventions.
I think you could make some cool footage with a camera with a gimbal for stabilization on it. With that camera you might be able to program it to lock on to and follow something.
modification 1: a place to put your feet. you could also put pedals down there. Maybe 1 pedal for forward momentum and the other for rotation modification 2: direction control on a head mount - look in the direction you want to go. an eye tracker would work for this.
That EMF Inventor's show is very similar to what we have here called "Makers faire" in the Bay area, California, the only problem I see is that it's better to do it in an urban setting, like an exhibition hall with hotels nearby as opposed to the countryside, because of the sensitivity of the electronics and possible bad weather or rain.... other than that....I LOVE those shows and I think every city should have them every two year even!!!
Thanks for the video, your three ball’ed creation is amazing, honestly could see endless practical applications, your design seems very capable. All of the festival looks awesome! Like Burning Man with learning in the UK, wish I’d know about the festival earlier. :D PS: I think you a genius not a villain.
EMFCamp was by far a highlight of the year (and maybe a few until 2024). I was glad to see the 8 legged spider finally walk. Did you manage to see or get any footage of Hebocon? I failed to get close to it. You definitely captured some of the best bits - Sam's set and Null Sector. I would love to see that base with a robot on it - I can't believe it's using only that small battery - considering the huge wheelchair batteries used in some of the Hacky racers (and on sale at the night market).
I think some footrests would make the chair more comfortable and also reduce the chance of sticking your feet into the wheels. A cupholder too, of course.
I'm really impressed at how manoeuvrable these wheels are on grass. I doubts omni-wheels would be the same. Perhaps you've found this design's key strength.
That’s not a bad idea. I’ve always thought using Omni wheels on wheelchairs would be an improvement, however three Omni wheels are best, so I could never figure out a way to do it without it looking really stupid. This is that way.
if you had the platform be able to rotate it's self and some added shocks you could probably make the ride more stable which would help from a rider standpoint, plus the ability more smooth adjust the riders' orientation.
5:00 there were these fat cables down by the generators, so I decided to test the chair by driving over them a few times. Unfortunately when I got back to my camp the there was a powercut so couldn't have a proper tea, but it didn't take the organisers long to fix the issue. Let's hope next year their power infrastructure is a little better
The LEGO car makes me curious as to why people use belt drives a lot. It seems like a pretty significant limitation when you're talking about high-torque applications. I would think chain and sprocket or even better a helical orbital gearbox.
4:12 correction: the footage is extremely stable - look at the tents in the background. The GoPro HERO9 is doing an incredible job. It’s the chair that’s wobbly
this festival seems like a ton of fun, also the dancing area screams "tell me you took drugs and went raving without telling me you took drugs and went raving"
Ok James, could you make an icosahedron with an omnidirectional wheel at each vertex while being large enough to contain a sphere to hold a person, and have that inner sphere able to rotate in all directions while keeping the person upright?
Ken is obviously smarter than I am because I don't recognize all of his words, but I think Ken wants you to build a version of this thing a la "The Jetsons." I fully support this idea!! Build it build it build it!!!
@@arnefines2356 Thanks, but I just checked; its faces are triangles, and there's 20 of them. The "Icosa" part comes from one word meanng 20. I think the shape of a football probably has a more complicated name because it has faces of two different shapes, but I don't know.
Now I see the uncanny resemblance between James and Vector from Despicable Me. Absolutely uncanny Next, you need to be able to rotate the chair 360 degrees so you're not traveling sideways all of the time. Then, just finish the hemispheres off with a solid strip of something, so you're not just bumping from one piece of wood to the next, collecting grass and dirt between the pieces, and you'll truly have your own evil villain chair.
I’m sure James won’t see this, but it has potential for it to be a really flexible wheelchair. Electric wheelchairs have made huge leaps, but they are still limited in manoeuvrability. Imagine in a shop with a normal electric wheelchair try to move to get to the right position to get an item of the shelf. Now imagine this with the added ability to rotate the seat and suddenly things become easier. Yes, there could be issues with stability and the fact it’s very high off the ground but these things maybe could resolved.
@@g60force depends what your classing as overly complicated, the mechanical side or the ability to control. As for failure, anything can do that so that's not really a major issue.
@@richards7909 It is a major issue, every additional moving part is an additional risk of failure, you're better off just making an electric wheelchair with 4 wheel steering and each wheel should be driven individually.
@@Eagle3302PL If that was the case we would never do anything because things overcomplicated things might fail. Going on that argument, simple rockets should be used to launch satellites and left in space because the Space X ones are overcomplicated with their ability to land and they might fail.
@@richards7909 Another silly argument, spacex is doing what they do because it's more cost effective to have reusable rockets so it's a potentially more profitable venture in the long term. Also they have some of the world's best engineers to trouble shoot and check that stuff before every use. An omni wheelchair would not be more effective than current products, it'd be more expensive to build and maintain making it a foolish business venture. You gonna send an engineer to the disabled person's house every day to maintain their wheelchair?
Hey, have you heard of the harmonic drive/strain wave gearbox? Apparently it's a very good way to get high torque, such as for your Robot Dog, and someone on youtube made quite an ingenious 3d printed version for 11Nm for a robot arm
That's epic it works rather well on grass. You could make a Body with two arms one being a controllable robot arm and the other having a rotating paintball cannon with a head onto with a camera and aiming unit for the gun. you could also modify the wheels so they have a high density foam with a rubber coat to go over the wood wheel not to thick as not to make it slower and harder to manoeuvre but it would help with change in terrain, and giving the wheels a bit more durability and ride smoother.
Acssesseries: Footrests. selfy stick. Cup holder. And maybe a racing harness style. seat belt. Alternetive top. It home made nurf guns might be fun. And/or a camera mount.

My favorite part of this video was watching your killer dance moves ;) the event looks like it was a blast!
Instead of driving sideways, why not make sideways front back? Rotate the seat and the sticks
the environment was so cool and chill, perfect setup to unleash james' killer dance moves
This has got to be my favourite thing you've built so far.
Right? I have legitimately dreamed about this machine
nah its lame, he should do a single ball
@@Blox117 nah, he aint making it for Lance Armstrong.

12:50 absolute legend
That's epic it works rather well on grass. You could make a Body with two arms one being a controllable robot arm and the other having a rotating paintball cannon with a head onto with a camera and aiming unit for the gun. you could also modify the wheels so they have a high density foam with a rubber coat to go over the wood wheel not to thick as not to make it slower and harder to manoeuvre but it would help with change in terrain, and giving the wheels a bit more durability and ride smoother.
Acssesseries: Footrests. selfy stick. Cup holder. And maybe a racing harness style. seat belt. Alternetive top. It home made nurf guns might be fun. And/or a camera mount.
