Team 1619 has had mecanums on our intake since before our first event and they have been awesome. Especially given our intake structure, they increase our collection "zone" by over a foot!

And 1986 and 1625. :) I'm not sure who had them first or where exactly our inspiration came from, but seeing 1986 and talking with 1625 also played a role in our decision to try them out and I'm very glad we did.

From what we can tell, we were the first ones to publish there use on intakes. We're also pretty sure people were using them either before us or right around the same time. I wouldn't be surprised if they were independently developed by 4 or 5 teams (3847, 125, 1986, not sure how long the list is).

I think it all happened for most around the same time. We knew other top teams would have it we were just curious on how many? I really expected it to catch on for teams even if their design constraints didn't fit it necessarily. It all just kind of came together for the best! :]

I'm surprised that more teams haven't done it yet. They're a pretty cheap way to upgrade any wheel collector.
