Abstract
This paper presents a rover chassis design providing holonomic motion on rugged terrain, with a simple design using three screws and having multiple benefits. The design offers an extremely robust and versatile alternative to wheeled and tracked rovers for use on a wide variety of ground materials and rugged terrains. The paper describes a prototype design and discusses design optimization, concerns and options.
