Re: Another chapter to the 6WD vs. Mecanum debate
Making a roughtop mecanum wheel would be an award-worthy feat, indeed.

Still, in a roughtop vs. roughtop pushing battle, the 6WD would STILL always beat the mecanum drive...because maximum tractive force for the mecanum drive IS influenced by the fact that there are passive rollers. Read Ether's white papers - they explain it all.
