Especially when you consider the number of mecanum conversion kits that appear to have been ordered from AndyMark, bracing the frame to keep it square and keep weight balanced is going to be key.

You mean this?

Re: Kitbot on Steroids 2.0

Got another one. Encoders. I can't imagine not having them on a robot these days. They make autonomous work a lot easier.

Re: Kitbot on Steroids 2.0

The EVO shifter looks like a fantastic and easy to use product. But is shifting still a little too much for a Kitbot? Also, I'd be really interested to see an 8-wheel variant to the Kitbot on Steroids. If I come up with some more reasonable additions, I'll post them later.

Our team modified a am14u3 to hold a 3 Cim ball shifter with 8 inch wheels linked by 35# chain. With the amount of modifications we did to the KoP drive train we should have just opt out and went 100% custom

Re: Kitbot on Steroids 2.0

Vex does provide this document which is similar to what your asking for detailing how to switch out the wheels and gearboxes for their ones https://content.vexrobotics.com/vexp...ive-System.pdf
