Re: Need advice on mecanum

mainly, just make sure each wheel is pushing down with the same amount of force. Some teams have even done a suspension system in the past, while others have just designed they're robots so the weight distribution is as close to uniform as possible. Either way, that will be an issue. Also just remember that whatever aspect ratio you chose, going straight on the wider side will always be more difficult.
