Re: Advice for driving on ice?
I would agree that mecanum wheels are not the best choice for ice. I would stay away from studs, as they maybe chew up the ice a little bit, which is not the most desirable outcome.
I would recommend using a solid rubber wheel, either the kop wheels or Colson wheels or something similar. As I recall, kop wheels on ice have a similar coefficient of friction as lunacy wheels on regolith, so watching videos from 2009 will give you an idea of what you're in for. As long as you accelerate slowly you should be able to maneuver your robot relatively easily.
