• Kinematics of arbitrarily selected point belonging to a
particular section of the system can be analyzed with the use of so-
called kinematic equations
• Each movable part must be connected with

To fully describe parameters of motion of our
structure we need angular velocities and
rotation angles of the wheels (1&2).
Those velocities are derived from equations
for velocity of the tangent points between
wheel and ground (assuming no slip)
