Re: Mecanum Suspensions

remember when you weld a frame, it warps because of thermal expansion. In 2005 my team had a frame with a lot of welds. Did one side first, flipped over and did the other side. When it cooled down, it was slightly cuved upward. Didn't matter much, but imagine if it curved the corners up? A mecanum bot with a frame like that would not drive very straight.
