I will get a link when I find it again.

The main reason we built our own model was to reduce the size. Last year, the 8 slot cRIO model was 73MB and it was imported so it couldn't be modified easily. I downloaded the 4 slot cRIO from your link and it's 41MB. It is a native Pro/E model so maybe it could be defeatured. The model shown in the render is only 6MB.

EDIT: The part file on the NI site is just for the commercial version of Pro/E.

If my understanding of Mecanums is correct they work fine, just not quite the same. An upside-down toggle could be implemented to change the code (like it was on many battlebots) and driving should continue as normal.

Nope. If upside-down mecanum wheels are approximately in a square, the robot won't be able to turn in place under its own power, and it will be easily spun by pushing it.

This bot looks like it's quite a bit out-of-square, so it would be possible to generate some rotational torque when upside down.

See page2 of this PDF.

The proposal was to move the wheels out and make room for the cRIO between the gearboxes. That would have made it quite a bit more square.

I love this about FIRST - even something that started out as pure silliness can turn into a legitimate discussion.
