Yeah, how dare we point out "facts" and stuff in an engineering discussion.

I think Einstein may not be the best sample for pointing out a correlation between traction drives and success, but I certainly can name far, FAR more top robots with traction drives. I certainly don't think the best teams are just too sucky at using mecanum drives to appreciate them!
Facts? Chief Delphi is not a place for facts chris.
Im curious as to how many top teams have actually tried Mecanum. Because its not that the people that dont use Mecanum are the top teams, its that the top teams seldomly use mecanum.
Chris, you seem to know every team , so whats one of the best teams you saw this year ( or any year) that used mecanum? Because im pretty sure the big name teams (71, 111, 67, 148, 233) have never used mecanum.

In other words, regarding tank v. mecanum, correlation does NOT imply causation.
