Many different holonomic drivetrains made it to Einstein this year.

1671 was the first ever robot to have a mecanum drive base touch Einstein Carpet. And the first mecanum to win Einstein.

I`m new here. I assume this is an inside joke? That at one point someone said that mecanums would never win?

This is the first year since mecanums were first used in FRC (2005ish) that a team using them has made it to Einstein.

Doesn't count. These were Tesla and Archimedes fields!

Mecanums have never touched Einstein! *hysterical laughter*

Ah good, the confetti cannons served their purpose, I'll make a note to fire them earlier next year. :P

While the carpets were the same as Tesla/Archimedes, the scoring platform plastic was replaced. So which team was the first to touch Mecanums to the Einstein scoring platforms?

We originally did have a bizarre rendition of H-Drive on our robot, but we switched to mecanums for weight and simplicity.

Looks like 2512 started with two of their Mecanum wheels on the scoring platform in Quarters 1!
