Re: Mecanum Wheels

We used the nano tuff boxes with the long shafts. We put a bearing on the outboard end on the shaft so the wheels were not cantilevered. The nano box were a little slow. I would look at decreasing the reduction with different gears. We used chains on one end of the robot because of clearance issues. Otherwise chains just add weight.
