Your advice on simplicity is appreciated, the design has been improved to allow much easier access to the modules. Since before the transmissions were IN the switching modules and that would have put a lot of stress on the metal frame of the modules.

With Nona drive though, there was a 9th omni wheel perpendicular to the other 8 (hence nona). This allowed 148 to strafe. Seeing as it's just for fun, then go right ahead, I just wanted to check that you knew what you were getting into.

Also, nice video
