Back in my day, we didn't get any of this pre-canned code or pre-made wheels. You young whippersnappers don't know how good you have it. It took us several weeks or more to get anything mecanum together!</geezer>
And yes, that is actually a true statement. It took 330 two years of off-and-on work to go from seeing a set for the first time, not in an FRC application, to a full-size, fully-functional set (2003 after Championship to 2005 build season). And they still haven't used mecanums in competition.
