Our Vex mecanum wheels are back-ordered, so we have to wait a bit before we can assemble the wheel modules fully. I also screwed up and ordered the wrong belts, so there's that, too.
The thing I like most about the design is that the modules are fully contained and they pivot around shoulder bolts screwed into a standoff that's captured inside the module. We don't have to worry about spacers or anything when adding or removing a module.
We're going with four independent cylinders for actuation this year -- it works better with the rest of the robot. The mounting for those cylinders is going to be tightly integrated with some other parts of the robot, so they'll also come along a little bit later.
