Re: Mecanum Suspension Movement

our wheels were retractable last year... so i guess our "suspension" would've been the pneumatics.... I would steer clear of that again... pretty heavy, and it takes the cylinders a long time to fill back up after using it just once.

Also, we got it wrong, so one wheel was 1/32 or so above the rest... and made our robot go in arcs most of the time.
