Re: Bumpy Ride with AM's 8" Mecanum wheels?

The 8" AM mecanum approximates the ideal roller shape with a few rubber cylinders; on the other hand, the 6" actually has a curved roller. Although I have no first-hand experience to back it up, I think the 6" will give you a smoother ride. I don't think the difference is worth another $300 though... just use locking nuts with the nylon inserts on your robot and tighten them and your electrical connections after every match and you should be fine.
