Our robot has done a lot of sitting and slow driving around. So we haven't encountered any problems as of yet-- thanks for pointing that out! Also, thank you for pointing out other mecanum flaws. This will serve as sufficient motivation to work on CADing other drive trains!

-To look work on efficiency and look at the big picture. Our actual design from the Logomotion game could not pick tubes up off the ground.
-And of course, that planning a design in Solidworks avoids countless hours of frustration and re-fabrication.
All of your posts have been very helpful! I never thought of adding a y-bracket to protect the arm.
