I'm pretty disgusted at the Youtuber. I feel a bit manipulated. In this goal of getting at least 100,000s views he built a whiz-bang bike based on tech that's been around for decades but that's basically unknown to the general public.

yeah idk its more common in robotics circles I guess. I havent watched the vid yet, does he pretend its new tech or something?

I'm sure he didn't and he mentions stuff in some detail. But I'm not an engineer and when I watched it I didn't know what mecanum meant so it seemed like word salad. I skipped to the end where he's riding around on it. Here's a Youtube comment:

“Screw bike mecanum wheel omnidirectional colinear drive bike project” really rolls off the tongue!
