Re: Mecanum vs. Tank Drive?

A tank drive will give you the ability to literally push your way across a field and hold your ground if you need to. Mecanum is a really good drive system if there's a reason. The field this year is flat, making mecanum a viable drive system to pursue. With limited visibility though, there is a possibility of you getting into situations such as being pushed around (perhaps while on the way to get fuel or gears), and not even recognizing what's going on. 2014 was a strong year for mecanums because the field was flat and clear. 2015 was a good year because there was no defense. This year, on the other hand, I'm not so sure. My vote is for tank.
