I thought with all the talk of new ideas for FIRST robots and drivetrain and mechaums I would thorw this link out there. I really like the chasis design they have with both Mechnaum wheels and pneumatic wheels on pg.4. There is also useful info on the mechaum wheels themselves. All in All very cool link. Tell me what you engineers and mechanical people think about doing this on a FIRST robot.

Thank you and hope this is informative and interesting.
