Re: How Do mecanum wheels handle the bumps?

mecanum wheels are absolutely wonderful for maneuverability, as for going over the bump, they don't really have a problem as long as you're going forward and not diagonal or sideways. The only other thing is that mecanums work best when all four wheels are touching the ground at all times, so an active suspension is fairly important

hope that helps
