Re: Problem with mecanum wheels

Hi!

We have had similar problems in the past with Mech wheels. Without knowing a whole lot about your situation, I would recommend that your wheels are in the correct configuration--the diagonal runners on the wheels should form an "X" when viewing the robot from the top. Additionally, double check that your runners are not too tight--if they are, the robot will be unable to strafe or vibrate a lot because the runners will not turn well. I hope this helps; if not, maybe post some pictures or the robot and double check that the code is making the motors turn at the same rate. Good luck!
