Re: Question for teams who've run Butterfly Drives
We ended up with half an Octanum (Hexanum?) in 2011 due to weight. 4 mecanums, 2 lower geared traction wheels we could drop for extra pushing power, less turnability, etc. We just modified the drive mapping in the 2+2 mode to drive the mecanums less than the stickies. It worked fairly well for us. Yes, the pivot point moved between the traction wheels. Turned ridiculously well thanks to the angled force vectors on the mecanums.
