Re: Mecanum Wheels

2052 found that in 2012 mecanum wheels actually helped on the ramps- they self corrected to get us on the ramps more squarely. The idea that they simply make your robot slide around like you just hit a banana in Mario Kart is simply a myth.

That being said, we have not yet discussed drive trains this year. I wouldn't be surprised if we went a different direction this year based on our requirements for our robot.
