Re: Mechanum Wheel Sizes
FYI, Mecanums ALMOST made it to Einstein. 2171 was a Finalist on Curie in 2008 and they were rocking AM 8" mecanums (IMHO the best COTS mecanums for FRC use).

Agreed that it is best done initially off-season and that competition usage should be decided on a game by game basis. Also agreed that part of the battle it is knowing how to use all 3 dimensions to the drivetrain.
