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.

yeah, judging by the way the spring is, i dont think its a swerve drive, but rather a suspension for the mechanum, possibly also to kep the motors out of the way from where a kicker might be

The wheel and sprocket actually ride on a dead axle which serves as the standoff for the bottom of the housing.

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)
