[Dumper FTW 435]

One of the biggest issues with my team right now is the debate between mecanum wheels vs treads. I was wondering what you all thought.

The proponents for treads believe it is essential for preventing other teams from pushing us when we're trying to shoot, and allow us to push defensive robots trying to get in our way. We've had a lot of good luck with treads in the past, and it's proven to be very effective.

The proponents for mecanums believe that we need strafing and other fine control inorder to pick up disks (since our disk pick up mechanism will likely be finicky and difficult to aim. We have also used mecanums in the past to good effect.

I was originally supportive of treads, but as I realized how hard it would be to pick up disks, i became undecided.

Our strategy for this year is likely to be offensive, where we try to consistently shoot 2 or 3 pointers, but we also like having a defensive option in case the shooter doesn't work, or if we need to shove defenders out of our way.

What do you guys think?
