Re: Supershifters and Mechanum wheels
Could you possible provide some pictures of the drivetrain? Ideally, there should be a lot of resistance in the direction perpendicular to the forward-backward motion. The key to being able to turn a long robot is to have that drop in the center wheels. This way, the robot is on the front 2 and mid 2 or the back 2 and mid 2 wheels, never on all 6. This reduces the length of the drivebase effectively in half, requiring less torque for the robot to turn in place.
Also, make sure you look at all of the other issues before putting in a new transmission in the drivetrain.
