Re: Mecanum wheels on the front, regular wheels on the back
5132's bot this year was a 4 wheel drivetrain with independent suspension. It had 10" Pneumatic wheels in front to take the abuse and 8" Mecanums in the rear to reduce scrub and assist in maneuverability. It works pretty well, but if the mecanums are on the wrong sides, it made a huge difference, as the lateral forces of the wheels are fighting each other. I believe our students also programmed it as a standard tank drive, not mecanum drive. Mecanum drive doesn't seem like it would provide the correct directional commands to give you the driving you are looking for.
1: Change programming to tank drive, and test.
2: If that didn't fix the driving, flip your left and right mecanums.
