Re: Poll: Drivetrain this year
Tank.
We had built a mecanum and a tank in the off-season a few times to give the younger folks on the controls and programming teams some more practice. Our half practice field was done a few days ago, so we fired each of them up and had a new student driver try them out. There was little difference in his ability to maneuver around the field (including other robots) and line up to the spring, hopper, and loading stations with tank versus mecanum after a few minutes practice with each. Our graduated driver with mecanum and tank experience tried also and agreed.
We would prefer a swerve, but we aren't there yet, so it's not a consideration.
