That looks delightfully compact and sleek!
Curious: Why did you go with 4" mecanum wheels? Is it just a weight/compactness issue? Our octocanum switches from 6" mecanum (with a .75" sprocket) to 2" colsons (with a 1 7/8" sprocket!) to get the lowest gear reduction possible without an additional shifter.
Also, are you actuating all four cylinders from a single valve? If so, how fast is the switch?
Thanks!
