Mecanum Suspension Movement

Hey,

So what has your team used for the suspension? Specifically, how much was it able to move. Does a tennis ball work well, like 488 is using, or do you think you need more springiness.

I've been thinking about testing:
  • a tennis ball
  • a series of rubber tubes
  • springs
  • some sort of shocks (possibly RC)

I'm sure this will be useful to a lot of teams using mecanums this year. Thanks!!
