- Definitely; Mecanums are a lot heavier than conventional wheels.
- I think most teams use 4 CIMs to drive anyway because it gives the robot a ton of power.
- Mecanums powered by Toughboxes don't get pushed around as much as people think, but it's defeinitely soemthing to consider.
- Agreed, a lot of practice is needed with Mecanums to be extremely good at them.
- Not a lot of engineering, it's really only the initial one-time assembly that matters in the long run.
- Actually, my team uses all of 20 characters for our Mecanum code, not counting the button to turn it on
Just my experiences with Mecanums. |
