Re: New Vex Mecanum
Last year we ran 4" VEXpro mecanums and it was a rough year. We eventually gave up on mecanums mid-way through the season of 2014. VEXpro admitted the failure and eventually sent us replacement rollers for all the wheels we ordered.
This year we switched to 6" VEXpro mecanums, we have yet to have a single failure. We struggled to find weight to add our h-drive so switching to mecanum really helped progress our robot capabilities without sacrificing weight.
The new VEXpro plastic clamping bearing blocks have been giving us a couple failures in normal drivetrain usage. We are looking at swapping to aluminium bearing blocks.
