To answer your other question: we haven't really tested that. It's something we can do, though. I'm not that concerned, however. If we were to be hit in that way pulling the tractions up and running on the mecanums should solve that issue. We used that maneuver to good effect in Aerial Assist.

There seems to be a decent amount of extra space between the frame rails and the modules themselves. One thing you could try is to put some delrin on either side of the modules and move the frame rails closer together to basically pinch the module between them. You'd then get horizontal support for the modules.

Hopefully we both make it to the DCMP so I can see it in person if the game calls for a drivetrain like this again.
