Re: pic: Mecanum 8 inch Iso

I like the design and I applaud your team's efforts to have some set designs ready for kick-off. Just remember you have to redesign the whole set-up after kick-off for it to be legal.

Just wanted to point out that when using Mecanum, you want to have an even weight distribution across all 4 wheels. It looks like most of your robot's weight is on the back wheels. This will cause your robot to strafe improperly (as if it were rotating around it's front). You can use a gyro to compensate for this rotation, but evenly spreading your weight is probably the easiest way to go.

Other than that, good job! I love all the designs you've put up.
