Re: Mecanum vs. Swerve Drive

I think it might be an interesting exercise for people to share video of their idea of a good mecanum drive. I suspect most FRC participants have never seen an above-average implementation of mecanum drive in action.

A mecanum drive is, in some ways, a lot like fly-by-wire controls in an aircraft. It requires closed-loop software assistance or it doesn't really work at all.
