Regular wheels can literally do that as well. Left wheels forward, right wheels reverse will spin a vehicle like a top.
Spherical wheels can do it more efficiently because they can do it with less slippage. But regular wheels can absolutely do that maneuver. Even tracks can. Heavy equipment does this all the time.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoIf you have four wheel steering and a large range of steering then even normal wheels can do it without slippage. See for example this Jeep prototype vehicle. https://youtu.be/PBHrtBomLJA https://youtu.be/PBHrtBomLJA
- dpark 5y agoTrue. If you can steer all wheels independently then you can achieve that with standard wheels. That seems a lot simpler than spherical wheels.
