Re: Mecanum wheels interaction with ground Motion Study

If i remember correctly, you have to tell it that each caster provides a certain force in a certain direction when you rotate it a certain direction. Simulating Mecanum is tough stuff, and I have only done it once as part of a team of 4 (2 students and 2 highly experienced mentors) and it took us a while.

Edit: not all "certain direction"s are the same direction
