Re: Question about Mecanum Wheels

You will need to have some form of reduction from the drive motor to the wheel but how you choose to do that is up to you, a gear box is not necessarily required. Traditionally mecanum wheels are done with four and the closer the wheel arrangement is to a square with an even weight distribution the better the better the performance.
