Re: pic: Practice Mecanum Chassis

Perhaps an active suspension can be implemented without too much redesign.



When totally locked down with the spacers you've designed in, I believe that this could be strong enough to give you what you want. It appears you're using 1/8" or 3/16" stock- maybe an upgrade to 1/4" would give you all the strength you need there. I would think that if you got hit really hard, the ability of the mecanums to slide would keep you from bending the modules. The chain would still be an issue though perhaps.
