Re: Mecanum Demo-Bot Recommendations?

We have used the Vex clamping gear box with 6" mechanums. it works well. We used a belt second stage. Detailed on Vex's web site bottom of page. The single stage isn't enough reduction. The cost of the Vex clamping boxes add up by the time you add bearing, gears, belts, and so forth. We have also used Andymark's nano gearboxes with the wheels mounted directly to them. Stock gearing in them is a little slow with 6" wheels.
