Looks fantastic, the drop down Mecanum wheels seem really unique and I can't wait to see it in person at the Australia Regional!

What machine did you use to manufacture your chassis?

Cool idea! Are you worried about rocking because of the small wheelbase on mecanums? Also, how many pistons and how much air do you need to actuate the pneumatics? How often do you plan to switch?

Thanks! We used a water jet and welder to fabricate the chassis.

We aren't too worried about rocking, the mecanum gives us a ton of maneuverability. Which pistons are you talking about?

Yes! Looking forward to a ton of practice and tweaking the code.

looks awesome! I would make sure to have replacements for those mecanums - after week zero and .5, Stronghold is turning out to be brutal on drive trains!

Thanks! Planning on being an extra set to Australia, although from our testing, the mecanums have been quite resilient.
