Re: Video of Mecanum Drive Running Circles Around 6 Wheel Drives
The real issue is driver practice. There were several mecanum robots at kc that got out maneuvered by skid steer robots. The main difference is driver practice, in 2009 we had 3 days to drive our robot and we ran circles around everybody except crab drive, that little bit of practice helped a lot. Any Drive system needs refinement time and practice. A lot of teams including us wait till the last second to put everything together. That drive time is critical.
I think that mecanum can out maneuver a skid steer but not run circles around it.
