Wow...we've been extremely busy with other things for the past few months, but we're finally getting close to wrapping this project up (the mechanical aspect, at least...)


Looks just like the CAD, doesnt it?


We're using a kitbot to test the wheels for now. (two of the wheels are still uncheeseholed, which is why they're hiding in shame under the other two =P)

Re: Pic: Easy to make mecanums..

Team 40 used these last year. The biggest thing I can stress is make sure the chassis is a square. If the chassis is rectangular you will have a difficult time turning. If you check out checkmate40.com we have some video's of the robot running. It looks like its floating when it drives but doesn't stand up well to being pushed.

Bottom line, if you are looking for a robot that will push well or stand up well to being pushed you are looking at the wrong type of wheel. See the 6 wheel drive thread.

We do not plan to use them again this year unless the game dictates we should.
