Re: Mecanum problems

I don't know about the original poster, but our mecanums seem to be working okay without a suspension... however we have intentionally left a great degree of flex in the KOP frame. We can raise one corner almost an inch and still keep all four wheels on the ground. Given the flat surface we will be running on, it should be fine... I'd be able to state that more definitively, but right now our 56mm banebots are all pulled apart as we are already seeing serious damage to the final stage.

Re: Mecanum problems

based on what i have seen our ride is much more than just bumpy.
Question for those that have used Mecanum wheels and or those people on team xbot.
How have you gotten your robot to roll so smoothly?
I am starting to believe that we did something like assemble the wheels incorrectly.
