Re: Mecanum vs. Tank Drive?
Mecanum
Pros: precise maneuvering
Cons: requires precise robot mass distribution in order to work. Also harder to program

Tank
Pros: easy to build
Cons: go up to feeder station. You're not aligned. Drive back and turn. Go up again. Still not aligned. Drive back and turn again...
