Re: BEST MECANUM WHEELS
230 used the 6" VEX mecanums for Ultimate Ascent and again for Recycle Rush.
For the most part, they worked well for us in Recycle Rush, particularly in the later parts of a match when space between stacks got tight and maneuverability became more important. We did experience some sensitivity to irregularities in the flooring under the carpet during the autonomous period, even with gyro stabilization and encoders on all 4 wheels. As a result, our 3-tote auto was less consistent than we would have liked (but cool to watch when it worked).
In Ultimate Ascent they allowed for easy alignment to the feeder station and for fine aim adjustment down field, but we got pushed around too easily.
The first batch we bought suffered from fatigue failures of the blades supporting the rollers after about 100 matches. The sets we used for our 2 Recycle Rush machines held up MUCH better.
