Re: To Strafe or not to Strafe
We, Team 4276, tested pushing totes on carpet and up ramps using our 2014 drive: 6" AM Mecanums with 10.7:1 TBMini's.
We pushed 4 totes with bin and we're happy with the results. We drove the robot on top of poly sheets (not HDPE, sticker missing so not sure what it was exactly) and there was little difference in ability to push totes.
That coupled with the ease of strafing and rotation has led us to keep Mecanum for this year. We'll be upping the gear ratios though.
