I'm also curious why you decided to run your belt and gears on the same side of the mecanum wheel. It seems like if you ran the belt on the other side of the module, then your traction mode would have a wider wheel base and the cim shaft would take less side load. I'm sure you have good reasoning for why the module is made this way. I'm just curious to see what your thinking was.
