Re: Swerve Drive vs Mecanum Wheel drive?

I think that a drive should be chosen for what it's robots goal is. Yes you can push a mecanum drive. But a good mecanum driver would not be being pushed for to long.
On a different note mecanum is much funner to enplane with people then a tank drive is. Cool maths and some programming a a long talk on vector math beats explaining a tank drive. At least for marketing stuff.
