Re: Mechanum drive-strafing issue

2013 used mechanum back in breakaway and that was the last time they used that system due to the limitations and problems they had. If I remember correctly, they were running about 16:1 reduction off CIM motors with 8" custom built wheels. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxw4sGeKakE

Ever since though:
