Re: Octocanum Drive/ Mecanum Suspension Designs?

We've used the Vex Mecanum wheels with Andmark Nanoboxes with No problems at all this year. We have encoders on each gearbox (3D printed bracket), gyro correction, and a very stiff frame. Wheels are set up to drive on to the scoring platform, and strafe to pickup totes in the landfill.

The Nanoboxes have very limited clearance between the upper mounting bolts and the CIM motor. We had to machine down the mounting bolt head OD to make these gearbox noise free.
