Re: Video of Mecanum Drive Running Circles Around 6 Wheel Drives

We have liked mecanum for several years because of the ease of lining up with field elements -- like the feeder slot. (We won a regional in 2010 and didn't this year, but despite that I can say without hesitation that this is the best robot we've built so far. That said, we did use octocanum, not straight mecanum, but we rarely dropped the traction wheels at FLR or Buckeye.)
