“I wanted to build something that wasn’t a standard two-wheel or track di erential drive,” Tom told us when we caught up with him. His triangle-shaped robot with a holonomic drive (it can move in any direction even while rotating) did very well at Pi Wars 2015, with Tom boasting that it was the most agile robot there. No wonder it won Pi Noon. You can read the coding documentation, which Tom is quite proud of, here: magpi.cc/2cJ7X9S.
