Ok question time.
Is there a reason as to why you decided to have the mechanums on the outside instead of the inside?
Did you guys play around with any other configuration ideas, such as having all 8 of the wheels on the ground at once?

Great work, make sure to run some good tests on it and let us know what you find!
While I can't speak for the OP, when I CADed up an idea almost identical to this after Atlanta I put the traction wheels on the inside to allow for easier turning in that configuration.
