Otherwise, it looks quite nice, and more importantly: simple. It would be cool to see this in action!

You would really want the pivot on the mecanum wheel because the mecanum wheel is always applying force to the side. This is the reason you use thrust bearings with mecanum wheels. You should also look at the strength of your module, even though the design looks cool, you should really make it stronger.
