Re: Drive train idea
With mecanum drive, you have 3 degrees of freedom. X Translation, Y Translation, rotation
With ackerman drive, you have 2 degrees of freedom. Y translation, rotation about a certain point(determined by your wheel and structure geometry).
It seems like you will be losing a degree of freedom for what gain?
My 2 cents...
