I want to challenge one very, very common claim about mecanum drives - the premise that mecanum drives are significantly more maneuverable than a six wheel skid, and in particular that mecanum drives can "run circles" around their six wheel skid defenders. I've personally never seen a mecanum behave that way.
So here's your challenge. Find a video that demonstrates a mecanum drive doing just that - being defended actively by a skid steer drive and repeatedly scoring successfully by outmaneuvering the opponent.
Do not post anecdotes. Don't post stories about how your team totally dominated Whatever Regional with your mecanum drive. I'm looking specifically for video - something that we can all objectively observe and critique.
If what I think is the case is true - nothing will be found.
If the opposite of what I think is true happens - we'll have a pretty cool video to watch and use as a reference point when debating the merits and drawbacks of a drive system.
Go!
