Wow, great work. Thats an impressive model. I have one question though, do you plan on putting a suspension on you chassis? I can tell you from our experience with mecanum that constant contact is important. Our team, 40, used rubber bumpers on our wheel pods to keep contact. Also at nationals we saw another team (I'm terrible at remembering team numbers) who used small pnumatic pistons for a suspension.

Looks wicked cool though, Good luck!
