Mecanum wheels tend to be rather popular among the larger FRC community, but I don't expect to see any on 2791's machine any time soon.
Exactly. Another thing to consider is WHO is voting. The "wow factor" of a turreted shooter seems cooler, but how accurately will most teams be when shooting, especially farther away from the baskets? I'm not saying people won't be aiming well, but which is more accurate: A shooter from the key, or a dumper right in front of the basket?
