Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
Personally, I would prefer a slide drive. It grants the most mobility at the least amount of complexity. It can be mechanically implemented similarly to a tank drive (save for the sideways mobility wheels), which is a style of drive train that Team 20 is accustomed to. Also, it still has more traction than mechanum, which may come in handy on the slick HDPE scoring zones.

Just my 2 cents
