We've used octocanum the past two years, and mecanum three others--and we're always upping our capabilities, especially with control. One thing I have my programmers working on this fall is using the gyro to compensate for wheels not working the way you want them to because you're driving over an irregular surface.

It's...interesting, anyway!

Either way, if you want to come down and check out what we've done in more detail, let me know and we'll set something up.
