Re: Mecanum Suspension Movement

Our team build a mecanum drivetrain this fall. A photo and link to video can be found here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/25886

On one end, we placed racquetballs between the pivoting wheel module and the frame. On the other end, we placed tennis balls.

Other teams have used a split chassis, round rubber rings, and pneumatics to achieve the same result.
