Re: Mecanum Advice Request
Last year 1279 used 8" mecanums, direct drive to long output shaft nanos, 12.5:1. We used a bearing on the other side of the long shaft.

My suggestion is get it done ASAP, so the driver(s) have time to train, and programers have time to program it. We actually built a test bot using a second set of Mecanums, using a 3/4" plywood base fot driver training and programming.
