Re: pic: Gears in Tube, Mecanum WCD
How are the wheels attached to the output shaft? Would a canter levered design like this be ideal with the lateral loads a mecanum drive experience?

The mecanums should be in the tube. Follow the everything-in-tube trend

The only thing to be careful of is, if you use a screw + washer to retain the wheel, make sure those stay tight, because more load is placed on them trying to unthread them. |

What would you use other than a screw/washer? I've only heard of WCDs that use them.

Snap rings are another popular choice, as they don't loosen, they are a little lighter, and it's easy to put a groove on a shaft on the lathe if you get the spacing right.
