Re: Mechanum Wheel Sizes

Hey, do you guys think we'll need this: http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetai...Code=am%2D0279

It's a hex-bore ball bearing to fit the shaft of the toughbox nano, probably would be mounted on the other side of the shaft. On that note, are the toughbox nano's built-in bearings strong enough to support the weight of the robot, or would they need to be supported by bearings on both sides?

Eh, I think it's a confusing post.... Basically, how many (if any) bearings will we need other than the built-in ones to support the robot's weight without breaking something or unnecessary wear and tear? Any ideas?
