Re: pic: 8WD 'Suspension' Chassis Concept

One year I proposed an 8WD to my team. It didn't go over real well. That might have something to do with it being two pairs of pods, power-rotated as pairs. One wheel of each pod would have been an "interesting" mecanum-type wheel and the other a standard KOP wheel of the same size. Think each pod from ^^ tied to the one directly opposite it and rotated by motor.
