or even just a channel across each end, so the frame can flex, since mecanums like "suspension".

I like the idea of using CIMs on stackers, who thought of that?

My only input is that if you plan on using the Andy Mark 6" mecanums I would wait until the redesign is available next yea. 1675 had many problems with them this and Andy said that they are redesigning them to hopefully eliminate most of the problems seen this year.

I agree with that. In Atlanta, Andy said they'd be redesigning to make the wheels stronger. I suggested a smaller size for some of our small class robots as well. Really hope to see those

This might be a stupid question, but what type of metal is the frame made out of?

That is an important thing to remember. A little frame flex is a good thing for mecanums. Makes a big difference - at least it did on our '08 robot.
