Re: Another Drivetrain Idea - "True Octanum"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you be better off going to a 4 omni setup? You wouldn't have the losses from miter/bevel gears, it would be lighter, more robust (it seems omnis stand up better than mecanums), have the same strafe power as forwards-backwards, wouldn't require a suspension, and would be mechanically simpler? It's effectively what you're doing here already.
