Re: Adjustable Magnetic suspension?

I would be curious if the benefit of a suspension system in frc would make the increased effort and weight worth it. In a game with obstacles like Stronghold or Breakaway, maybe Rebound Rumble, I could see the benefit from reducing impact to the frame, but you may also see reduced accuracy with shooters if the drive base is not at a consistent angle. I'd also like to see if you could make a magnetic suspension lighter or smaller than an adjustable traditional spring based system. Anybody know of another benefit that a suspension would give other than improving impact resistance?
