What is the drop on the center set of wheels? What reduction are you running in that gearbox and the overall reduction?

Looks great! I think you could simplify the frame rails and bit for easier assembly but other than that this is great.
Thanks! The gearbox is 50:12, and the chains are 32:16. The axles are all level, but the omni wheel radius is around 0.10" smaller than the performance wheels with nitrile tread.

Assembly wasn't too bad, but next time we'll give ourselves some breathing room in certain places to make it easier (reducing time spent grinding...). What would you simplify on the side rails?
