Re: Another chapter to the 6WD vs. Mecanum debate
I feel like mecanum bots will do pretty well this year. We also used mecanum in 2007. We resurrected our 2007 chassis and put the electronics from last years robot to do prototyping/let software have more then 6 hours with the robot. I just don't see a well designed mecanum bot having problems out-maneuvering a 6wd bot.
Here are our 2007 drive tests:
