Re: Mecanum vs. Tank Drive?

H drive and mecanum are treated worse than any other drivetrain (automatic DNP list most of the time). Buttterfly, octocanum and swerve are a little more complicated. Basically if I wasn't confident that they could fix it if it somehow broke, they would get lumped into the mecanum drive pile. If I was confident that the team could fix it if it broke, I would still put them below tank due to the inherent reliability issues but it would not completely prevent a team from being picked.
