Re: Pneumatics or Mecanum

For this game? I have no idea why you would even consider mecanum wheels unless the only defense you intend to be able to cross is the low bar.

Mecanum wheels are generally poor for traversing field obstacles, and the ability to strafe doesn't help you whatsoever in this game.

Pneumatic wheels are a great choice, but not the only choice for this game. Think about your team's priorities when making this decision.
