Lightbulb Re: Mecanum vs Treads

use treads or a multiple wheel drive system this is not the year for mechanum yes its fast and maneuverable but has absolutely no torque a robot could push you using CIMple boxes for gear boxes

if your gonna shoot and stay still for long amounts of time use treads also probably a good idea to build your shooter with turret so your driver can focus on the keeping the defender from moving your robot and not aiming the robot
