I'm away at college so I'm not sure, but last I heard we won't be using mecanums. We've got a nifty new idea for 10-sided wheels that will give us more than point-contact traction every tenth of a rotation, thereby increasing our pushing power. All four wheels milled on a 5 axis CNC out of solid 7075 Aluminum billet.

Got questions (about Notre Dame, robots, college, etc), don't hesitate to ask.

**Bang Boom Pop!** "Was that the robot?" "I don't know, do it again"
