Re: Mecanum wear and dirt resistance

Our Mecanum Robot leaves massive skid marks when it drives sometimes. My main guess is that it is attempting to accelerate too fast and the wheels are slipping. I think part of this is due to the dusty shop floor (robot slips more easily) we drive on and the fact that our team tends to drive the mecanum robot pretty hard (accelerates too fast).
