Bumpy Ride with AM's 8" Mecanum wheels?
My team has assembled the 8" mecanum wheels from AM and we are getting a really bumpy ride...
the robot jumps all over the place and nearly shakes itself to pieces.
this happens both in slow speeds and in hugh speeds.
is this a common problem with the 8" wheels?
or maybe we did something wrong?
do the 6" mecanums from AM solve this problem?
thanks!
