Re: Mecanum vs Treads

You may want to step back and define what you're trying to accomplish with your drive train. You can't decide which is "better" unless you've defined some metrics you can use for comparison.

As explained in detail by many of these posts, your metrics should include more than just on field performance.

It's really easy to jump right into design comparison but you'll end up with better robot performance if you slow down a few minutes and define what you want your drive train to accomplish independent of implementation.
