Re: Poll: Drivetrain this year

Yeah, it's good to see that there are a lot of tank drives here. You really need to know what you're doing to make any other drivetrain, and do it well enough that you avoid the negatives associated with it. For example, mecanum is really easy to slap on any robot, but you need to have a lot of practice, some decent custom programming to keep the strafing straight, and the right gearing so that you aren't knocked around by all of the basic pushbots.
