Use Mecanum Wheels with AM14U in Wide Configuration
 

I see that the 2014 kit chassis (AM14U) can support 6" mecanum wheels in its long configuration. However, is there a way to support the mecanum wheels on the wide frame? Our team wants to use the wide frame and mecanum wheels so, I'm just looking for a way to make it work.

I don't see why you couldn't set it up the same way as long, just configure it is wide orientation. Just like any type of wheel.

One caution is you'll have a fairly short wheelbase in that configuration. doable, but not very stable...

I don't think the inside plates are set up for 4 gearboxes in the wide configuration, so you'll have to do some (very precise) fabrication yourself.

If you want to use the given holes for mounting the TB nano with 6" mechanum wheels, you cannot follow the wide configuration cut as the wheel and part of the gearbox will be outside the of the frame perimeter (the sheet metal).

On the attached image, I point out the location of the axle locations.
