Octocanum Drive/ Mecanum Suspension Designs?
As an off season project for our team we are looking at creating an Octocanum drivebase. We have experience with our own custom chassis, and have been using Mecanum drive for the last many years.
We have seen a few designs around (1086 / Blue Cheese, 3847 / Spectrum, 488 / Xbot, and 1540 / Flaming Chickens).
From my research, I can only find one example of an Octocanum that provides suspension when in the Mecanum mode (team 1540). It seems like with this drivebase we wouldn't want to miss that opportunity. Does anyone have any experience with that? And can anyone point me to any CAD designs around that are set up like that?

I also like how the FTC folks are able to get involved with the FRC process this year, but it's always a bit of a let down when you're told you can't launch things into the air. - s_forbes [more]
