Re: Octocanum 101

One thing that could be happening is that when you are shifting, the mecanum wheel isn't landing level. If I recall correctly, when the mecanum wheels had the wrong size roller, it would break when all the load was on the end of the cantilevered roller. Could it be that when you shift you sometime land on the end of one of those cantilevered rollers?
