8 CIM Modular Octocanum

We made an octocanum drive train this off season.

Each module contains 1 CIM and 1 mini CIM. The traction wheel is a 4 in by 2 in wide vex traction wheel geared 11:1. The mecanum wheel is a 6 in vex and is geared 7:1. Both axles are live, the mecanum is directly driven and the traction wheel is driven by a belt with a 1.57:1 reduction. Each module weighs aprox. 10lbs. and can be swapped by removing only 5 bolts.

We had it driving this last weekend at Bunny Bots but I unfortunately didn't get any good video. I will try to get some from a team member and post it here later.
