Re: pic: Practice Mecanum Chassis

Perhaps you can save some trouble by integrating the gearbox into the inner plate of the mecanum assy, and replace the sprocket with a gear, to eliminate the issue of tension all together. I don't know what capabilities your team has when it comes to milling out excess material in the gears, but if worst comes to worst, you can design a nice lightweight gear and outsource it to sdp-si. I'm not a fan of outsourcing in FIRST, but in the real world, outsourcing is useful, and if you don't have the machining capabilities, you have no other option. It's a very nicely designed module. Keep up the good work.
