Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.

When we go through our picking process, the first thing is always going to be the best robot in the category we seem.to need first will be brought up first for discussion. After that, we will look at the limitations that pick would have for our alliance and the strategy we want to play. Unfortunately, I will say I hate most mecanum bots because they almost always lack the driver experience needed to make them affective. Granted, there is always that occasional team but not often. Through my experience, I have always been able to find a better robot with some sort of traction setup. Even if that team with traction capability had not shown much, I would feel more confident for example sticking them in the corner and leaving them their for the whole match to inbound and spit out and not move. Where if I had a mecanum bot, I couldn't believe as much that they wouldn't be pushed out of position. (Examples from Arial assist; obviously will vary upon game). I am typing from my phone so excuse any errors haha.
