Re: Mecanum Suspension Movement

We found that the racquetballs, though giving a larger range of motion in a suspension, cannot withstand the torment of being on FIRST machine. After only about fours hours of run time, they've begun to tear and crack and will need to replaced.

The tennis balls, on the other hand, are holding up quite well. They're a bit tougher to compress, but our chassis is still lighter than a completed robot.
