Re: Is there a Mecanum whitepaper available?

nanotube would work, but it's cheaper and stronger to build your own chassis.
we use direct drive 8" off of toughbox nanos, we HATE having to constantly adjust the tension. it's also lighter, and the gearboxes are also part of our chassis.
we recently installed a set of new rollers, and found that the rollers contact each other. we think that they just need to be broken in.
