We also hinged on the traction wheels like you did, for strength, but put the traction wheels at the extreme front and rear for better stance when pushing. With the 8 motors and gear reduction, we had no problem turning on carpeting, even with conveyor traction belting on wheels.

Very nice Cad work and machining. Is the cylinder mount a cast part or machined?

Thank you. The cylinder support was a machined block
