Question Can Mecanum wheels pass the scoring zone?
Hey all,
Our mentors and I had a question. Altough it is hard to fit the Mecanum on the KOP chasis, we want to check this posability. I know we can fit it in with 4 CIMple boxes connected to the chasis, one for each wheel. We only saw one problem with that, Can the mecanum wheels pass the scoring zone? We are afraid that because the Mecanum has no friction with the floor, it will slip. It is the first time our team thought about the possability to build a Mecanum drive, and we have no information about it.


Thanks
Good luck! and see you in the competition!
