On your octocanum, are you employing pneumatic suspension on the mecanum wheel itself, the traction wheel, or both?
It looked like you had fixed motors, so I'm guessing just one, but hard to tell in the video.

If you are suspending the mecanum, do you have any more details, cad, or pictures of your design?

We are starting an off-season octocanum drive and it seems like an air-suspended mecanum makes the most sense, but want to make sure we arent missing any details. What kind of cylinders are you using and have you had any pneumatic isses with running like that?

Thanks!
