Mecanum drive on Einstein

Is this the year? Will we see a straight-up mecanum drive on Einstein?

No. There will be no mecanum drive robots on Einstein this year.

This is certainly mecanum's best chance yet.

With a back-up robot and eight alliances on Einstein this year, I'd be shocked if at least one of the thirty-two robots doesn't have a mecanum drive.

I'd put it pretty close to 1 as far as probabilities go, especially since the lack of interactions between opposing alliances removes most team's hesitations with the drive...

A constantly shifting CG might be a deterrent for some teams though

It's manageable.

No team has ever used Mecanum drive on Einstein before? That's kind of surprising to me.

Re: Mecanum drive on Einstein

While I doubt we will see the alliance captains and first picks with mecanum drives I think alliance captains will have to seriously consider mecanum robots for 2nd and 3rd picks out of necessity due to the smaller, watered down fields and the sheer popularity of mecanum drive this year.

Nope. No robot with a mecanum drive has ever made it to Einstein before. It's usually because of defense, and it you don't do them right, they have alot of issues on open fields. However, for a year like this, if you can get the balance right, you have a pretty good shot of being able to perform at a high level even with mecanum.

Agreed. I think some top robots this year will be mecanum.
