Re: How Do mecanum wheels handle the bumps?

This is just bad physics. The math is plain wrong as I'm interpreting it nor does it explain how a frame 'transmits' the force tangent to how the force is applied. This isn't fluid dynamics, where the pressure builds up and escapes through the path of least resistance.

If this can be proven through experimentation and then explained with clear and concise diagram, then maybe I'd consider it as valid the next time I design a robot to sit still and push a wall.
