Re: Bumpy Ride with AM's 8" Mecanum wheels?
There IS one gotcha....
The wheels are normally bumpy because the shift of ground contact from one roller to the next is not always smooth. As long as the rollers are at a 45 degree angle then everything should be good except....
There is only one wheel configuration that will work and give you all functions.
( I know they refer to them as "Right" and "Left" but that's not necessarily the side they go on.)
looking down FROM on TOP...look at the top rollers and then look at the roller bolts. They should make an "X" pattern like this:
\ /
/ \
If you don't have this configuration, you can drive forward, backwards, left and right BUT you'll have a terrible time trying to rotate and that will be really bouncy.
My two cents
