Re: Mecanum vs Treads
I'd definitely leave mecanum (at least only mecanum wheels or just 4 wheels, as 6 wheels seem fine and are probably the way our team's gonna roll) out this year. While the ability to maneuver is important by all means, and throwing frisbees might be slightly more simple mechanically, compared to last year's balls (depending on the way you tackle that problem), you really don't want to be pushed way off your stance when trying to shoot. When a robot is so easy to push that every single tackle messes its shots up so bad that it doesn't even seem to be remotely close, it's a very significant issue for scouters who watch it.
Regarding your pick-up issue, it's only the 4th day so it's not too late to rethink your concept, or maybe scrap the pick-up system overall and just rely on the feeded; your chosen mechanisms should be modified so that they stand in line with your ideal strategy, not vice-versa.
