Re: Mecanum Drivetrains
Our team in 2012 used mecanum wheels with regular traction wheels. The mecanums were on an offset axle that got pushed down with pnumatics. We were able to drive really well and place some nice defense.

I will say though, you have to be careful. Mecanums are can be dangerous. We got stuck on a ball one match and literally tore it to shreds in seconds. We also ran over team 67's go pro and spun our mecanums on it by accident. Luckily it was okay! I wish I could've saw that video though...
