Re: pic: 1675's REAL IRI Upgrade

dunno if this is quite what you wanted Chris, but in this video 1318 litteraly drives circles around the defending robot in green, 3251. Although without any other drive-train details it is difficult to tell what really happened, this is an instance where i would say a mechanum robot definitely out maneuvered at least one non-holonomic defender with ease. Although this video says little about a mechanum driving circles around a defender like 973 (substantially more tenacious than the defenders in the video) I think that it shows the capability of a mechanum drive-train to use the ability to strafe to glide between defenders in a way that would be difficult for a tank drive to do.
