Omni Wheel Robot 3-Wheel Kit with Arduino Uno + Motor
Build a Holonomic Omni Wheel Robot with Arduino – 3-Wheel Drive Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a robot that can strafe diagonally, spin on its own axis, and glide in any direction without turning its wheels. This Omni Wheel Robot Kit lets you build exactly that – a three-wheeled holonomic platform commanded by a single joystick. You’ll wire the motors through dual L298N drivers, upload custom Arduino mixing code, and steer with intuitive X-Y-rotation control.
What You’ll Build
You’ll assemble a fully mobile robot base powered by three omniwheels arranged at 120° angles – a configuration that delivers holonomic movement: forward, reverse, strafing, and rotation, all independently controlled by a dual-axis joystick. The compact chassis navigates tight spaces with zero turning radius, perfect for line-following, maze solving, or autonomous navigation experiments.
What You’ll Learn
- Calculate and implement inverse kinematics for a three-wheel omni drive
- Wire dual L298N motor drivers to an Arduino Uno for independent PWM control
- Map joystick X-Y coordinates to motor speed vectors using trigonometric mixing
- Debug holonomic motion with serial monitor feedback and deadband filtering

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students building a physics or robotics project, B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling a motor control lab, or teams prototyping for the Smart India Hackathon. ATL Tinkering Labs can use it to demonstrate kinematics and embedded control, and it fits perfectly into an IIT, NIT, or VIT robotics curriculum.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to chat with the AI companion, which knows this exact project’s wiring, code, and typical mistakes. If you prefer human help, reach us on WhatsApp for step-by-step guidance.
Why are there two L298N drivers instead of one?
Each L298N module can control two DC motors independently. Since an omni drive needs three motors, we include two drivers to provide four channels — using three for your robot and leaving one spare for future add-ons like a gripper or sensor arm.
Can I later add wireless control to the robot?
Yes. The Arduino Uno has a UART interface that can link to a Bluetooth module (like HC-05) or an ESP8266. You’d modify the joystick code to read serial commands from your phone or a wireless controller.
Does the kit include a battery charger?
No, the kit provides the 18650 cells and holder but no charger. You’ll need a standard 3S 12.6V lithium-ion charger to charge the three cells in series — widely available at electronics shops or online.
Three 120-degree omniwheel motors give full holonomic motion. Joystick maps to X Y rotation mixing.
