sometime this week we plan to run our 2010 robot (12-1 bane bot p80's) direct driving gen 2 8 inch mechanums from andymark. vs this years robot (4 cims into 2 stock tough-boxes with a 28 tooth sprocket on gearbox driving 24 tooth sprockets on wheels) with 6 diam tank drive with the wheels on the ends being 6 inch omnis. i am pretty sure that the tank drive is going to
A. drive circles around the mechanum
B. push the mechanum everywhere
C. burn through batteries at 3x the rate of the mechanum (we blew the 120amp break the other day
this is with the vet driver from 2010 returning to drive the mechanum, and no driver practice on the tank.
ill post some video here.
