Re: Need advice on mecanum

What is the best layout for the drive base? My team is working with a modified KOP drive base in the long configuration. We chose this with the thinking that it will be easier to balance weight with the forklift collector we are currently planning on using. But, we do not have enough experience in mecanum to know how this will affect the wheels. Should we revert to a square drive base and figure out the weight distribution? How will a long drive base affect strafing?
