Re: Mecanum Wheels

i think that the same thing would happen if the were mounted co-axially. while it is true that while using all 3 degrees of freedom there would be some scrub, during normal translation there would be none, conceptually it is 3 entirely separate mechanum bases, driving in the same space, at the same speed.
