Re: pic: 1675 Pod Front
That's cool, but I have a question, is it a Mechanum, or a Swerve/Crab Module? Or some combination of the two that I have never heard of?

Re: pic: 1675 Pod Front
It looks to me as if it's just a housing for a mecanum wheel. I personally think it looks pretty cool.

Re: pic: 1675 Pod Front
That looks like a very interesting couple, but how well does it work when you quickly change direction, becuase wouldn't you just slide sideways when you change direction? That must be a beast to program! Good luck, can't wait to see some video of it in action!

Re: pic: 1675 Pod Front
Looks to me like a way to add a suspension not make some terrible mecanum/swerve concoction. Look at the other picture, there's no bearing or sprocket to rotate the module.
I look forward to seeing the rest of the robot here in MN. Last edited by Vikesrock : 11-02-2010 at 15:14. |

Re: pic: 1675 Pod Front
It looks like a way to just make a really nice modular design with a smart suspension to keep all 4 mecs on the ground even if the frame is a little warped during welding.
Great stuff, try adding a standoff somewhere in between the plates though for a bit more rigidity. |

Thanks everyone for the feedback. We're very anxious to see these babies in action too...but just wait till you see the final product (refer to the gold plates a few pictures previous) ![]() |
