Re: pic: Duodec-Drive (Octocanum)
One of the cool things about this kind of drive, if it has the right configuration, is you get suspension for your Mecannum wheels for free. This insures all four wheels are in contact with the ground at all times. This makes a difference when strafing. I'd suggest flipping your design around so it pivots on the solid wheel. You'll find the Mecannum wheels will work better if you do.
We used this kind of drive this year and in Bunnybots so got to measure this first-hand.
