Re: "Screw" Drive for FRC

I believe that this could be done with mecanum wheels, you just need two axes with lines of cocentric mecanum wheels, but that would be extremely expensive. While this is a cool idea i can only see a small increase in pushing power happening at the cost of a good amount of design time and maybe a lot of money, so i don't think this would be very appropriate for FRC uses. If you want a render of my idea on how to do this i can make one.
