Re: Mecanum Drive Train

Last year we had used the AndyMark 8" Mecanum Wheels along with the AndyMark Toughbox gear boxes

One thing I didn't see anyone mention, is that when you mount them mount them in a square, so as in the distance from the middle of the wheel is the same front to back as it is left to right, it makes it easier come programming and movement. It makes since when you think of it, the rollers are mounted at a 45 degree angle.
