Re: Trajectory Drive for both swerve and mecanum drive

It's so hard to play against defense when you are limited to a mecanum drive. When a team pushes you, you can not side shift over like you can with swerve. Name an Einstein robot that used mecanums in a defense heavy game, because I can't think of one. The majority of Einstein robots (90+ percent) in defense heavy games are swerve or some kind of tank drive like West Coast Drive. Also, if you are a low resource team, you will not be picked to play defense if you have a mecanum drive if there are teams available with better swerve or tank systems. That's just my opinion, though.
