Re: Mecanum Drive overdraw
I have coached teams that have used some version of mecanum drives for over 5 years. From my experience, what you are describing does not seem unreasonable. The physics of mecanum drives mean you loose half of your force vector just driving forward. Strafing is VERY inefficient as well. If you tack on a compressor, that charge loss is expected.
P.S.: Not to down play mecanum. It is an excellent drive.
P.P.S.: make sure you have set your wheel in the "X" formation.
