2583's Octocanum Modules

This year 2583 is using Octocanum for the first time ever

4x1.5" inch Colsons geared to 7 fps and 4" Vex mecanum wheels geared to 20.5 fps (around 15 fps forward after loss of top speed from mecanum)

Gears inside the module get the reduction without any belts or tensioning

One CIM per module
4.1 lbs per module without CIM (6.9 with CIM)

Each side of the octocanum is activated by one 1.0625 bore piston pushing in between them, total of two pistons

Traction wheels deploy on the outside to make it impossible to turn for straight driving in autonomous and to prevent being pushed while shooting

All comments and critiques are appreciated
