Converting to Mechanum....

Our team finally is deciding to try mecanum over the summer after much pushing on my part. We were rookies last year. Now, our drive right now is very simple. 4 wheels, two motors, two gearboxes. We used the brackets from the KOP so the bottom of our chassis sits above the wheels. So, my question is, without having to completely rebuild our chassis, how can we convert this to mecanum, because all the pictures on andymark for the drivetrains show the wheels being more IN the chassis if that makes sense...I'm wondering if its possible to use what we have. Also, we're looking to do chain driven mecanum if that makes a difference.

This is sorta what ours looks like (except not with c channel): http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-3383317...7_2119_2469960
