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.
Hmm i see an idler sprocket above the chain there. perhaps if it was on a spring-tensioned bar it can still hold the chain in place.. like of that in a bike.
then again, how much distance of movement in the suspension is required to keep all wheels on the ground?
