Re: [FTC]: Mecanum wheels or omni wheels?
I've not personally used Mecanums on a robot since FRC 2008 and they were the AndyMark ones. Thanks for the illumination on that one.
Back to the topic on hand. I still prefer either style of Mecanum. Better maneuverability until someone crafts a practical FTC swerve drive. Easy enough to code given the abundance of use. No more static risk than Omni Wheels.
If I had a penny for every robot with Omnis that shocked me as an FTA compared to ones that use Mecanums, one change barrel would certainly be far more full.
