Re: Maximizing the in-line CoF of Omni-wheels

Back when mecanum wheels were still new to FRC, at least one team tried getting better grip with patterned rollers/rubber coatings on plastic rollers. As I recall, it wasn't fully tested, but there was an improvement. (Though as I recall, the biggest improvement came from adding the rubber, so that's out with AM wheels.)
