Re: Mecanum Suspensions

The kitbot frame is so flexy you might call it a suspension all of its own. I haven't really decided if it is better to have a super rigid frame or not. For mecanum or omni, some sort of rubber pad may suffice. For any past game, most any real suspension would be too heavy for any benefit if you ask me. I wouldn't mind seeing a game that really required some sort of suspension, although it will probably never happen.
