Re: Need advice on mecanum

On Devastators we learned the hard way for Mecanums and I dont think we will go back to them but some tips we learned from the time we used mecanums.
  1. Make sure all the wheels are powered
  2. Make sure your center of gravity is as close to the center of the robot.
  3. All wheels must be touching the floor
  4. GYRO can make everything easier
  5. Research! We found lots of code afterwards for this drivetrain. So make sure you research it first.
  6. Make sure Drivers get lots of practice! It feels werid to strafe and wont be the intial thought for your driver so make sure they get use to it.
