Re: Swerve Drive vs Mecanum Wheel drive?
Another thing to keep in mind is your strategy for playing each game. To give an example, our team excelled last year with a 6-wheel tank drive because our strategy was cycling, and our drivers got very good at this. Speed was much more important than maneuverability for us, so it wouldn't have made sense to spend more time on a more complicated drive train. This year though, the heavy defense makes strategy a little different. The argument could definitely be made for maneuverability over speed in this game. In any case, your game play strategy should always determine your robot's design, not the other way around.
