Re: Mecanum Advice Request

Okay, Here are a few things to look out for and suggestions that my team (1296) uses/does.
First of we choose our gearbox, toughbox nano with the long key. The reason we do this is for extra support. We use mounting plates one both sides of the wheel, for extra support.
Secondly, throw together the KOP base and put mecanum wheels on there to give your progamming team time to flush out and software problems.
Finally, when assembling your final bot be sure to distribute the weight equally do that your wheels function properly.
