Hello everyone we need your help!
We are an 8th year team and are really trying to improve from our last years performance. We really think our drive has a good shot of overcoming the obstacles.
We thought that 20" wheels would work well for us.
Please let us know if you think this is legal and a good idea.

Tyler, your progress with mecanum (mechenim?) is astounding with regards to your resources. However, maybe you want to consider making a simpler robot that can be reliably operated if you want to break through and make it to Einstein some day.
One thing I would caution you on is that it appears you are using the gaming router from 2009 in your robot. While it was no doubt part of an undeniably successful control system rollout over 7 years ago, we since have undergone multiple changes to the radios. The newer Wi-Fi radios now connect in under a minute (a vast improvement from the 2008 and earlier radios that gave almost instant connections, depriving us of any drama from field reset). Also you should paint your PDB black.
