Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.
After further thought, I believe my first post was not blunt enough.
In reality, if mecanum wheels are the answer, I have found that I have asked my self the wrong question. There has not been a single game in my opinion where mecanum drive (or any omni-directional drive for that matter) has presented a significant enough advantage to justify the development of such a drivetrain. It goes against a fundamental rule that anything new in a drivetrain must be tested in the offseason.
Remember the three most important parts of a robot...
