Re: 8" Mecanum wheels and KOP wheel brackets

Our team determined that the 8" AM mecanum wheels do NOT work with the KOP wheel bracket.

We are working on our own brackets right now.

EDIT- sorry, read your post again. They DO fit width-wise, they do not height-wise. We considered cutting it to accommodate the wheels, but decided that it wouldn't be very structurally sound.

Re: 8" Mecanum wheels and KOP wheel brackets

We were thinking of just notching out the top, up to where the opening gets larger. We were just afraid of the width, with the wheels being 2.52" wide already and the opening seemingly less than 3"...

wrong, Bryan, they don't fit width-wise, but they do height-wise, believe me, i would know, i tested them in CAD models
