These are called Mecanum wheels and have been around for years (since 1973), invented by Bengt Ilon from Sweden. Very low friction and they lock by opposite forces to allow forward and backward movement too. (Thanks to poontarax for pointing out a typo I had made).

they put solid tires for a reason...so they dont wear out so fast and its stable when working at lift(we can really get those things rocking)...and ive never felt the need or wished my lift would do a 360...my concern is it any better offroad...these things are notoriously hard to get into facilities when the entire building is under construction and its basicley a mud moat around the site

Despite what was said in some of the comments before you, these wheels are not low friction. They are efficient for turning, but have very high rolling friction. Your car is made to save fuel and handle well. These wheels would make your car crash easily, burn excessive fuel, and the wheels would wear out very quickly (if you drive at normal road speeds). These wheels are only useful on slow vehicles...

Legion Long The (good ones) actually have very low rolling friction. We don't use them in cars because the center of mass is very biased, and power distribution for the wheels would be a hard thing to do with an engine, especially when you're expecting them to turn in different directions. We could expect these in smart cars, but anything bigger, or with a gasoline engine will not be able to utilize them. not to mention how expensive they'd be to maintain, and the suspension systems we'd need to have, and our process for making them now.

yes, because these wheels can, when in groups, provide forward, backward, side to side, and any other angle with four static motors. for the spherical wheels to go anywhere but forward, it would require a swiveling motor to spin the ball. hope this helped

Actually, if built right and even dualed (Two wheels together) mecanum wheels are very smooth. However, the reason these arent employed isnt bumpiness, but rather force loss from the rollers. Im not quite sure what the numbers are, but about 50% of force is lost with mecanums, because they create force at an angle, and slide in the direction perpindicular to that.

Yes, Apples growth has taken a slight hit from the '2nd market crash' but they are starting to recover from the slight downturn. Steve Jobs' death had nothing to do with it. Apple jumped when the iPhone 4s was released (Steve Jobs wasn't around at the time) and the same thing will happen with the iPhone 5 release. We will also be expecting an iPad Mini to be released along with the iPhone 5. If that also gets released then Apple should easily reach $1000 by the end of the year.
