Re: Team 4206 Pre-Season Drive Module (In Progress)

Just wondering where exactly the module is attached to the robot; on the mechanum wheel, or the traction wheel? If I were designing it, i'd put the traction wheel being attached to the robot, so it's more solid when playing the pushing game. (however, I've never made one of these, so this is just an opinion)

Otherwise, it looks quite nice, and more importantly: simple. It would be cool to see this in action!
