If we do this again, we'll probably do hex axle instead of keyed.

That's a clever setup. We are looking at using the Nanotubes for a Mecanum setup this year since we've done Mecanum the past few years but have had weight issues with it due to being a custom setup with the kit toughboxes. Last year our frame, gearboxes, motors, and wheels brought us in at over 60 pounds!

Was there a reason other than speed to bolt the C frame to the top of the Nanotubes? I've been wondering what the best approach would be to mounting bumpers to them and that would certainly solve the problem.
