It allowed the robot to go in every direction depending upon how the wheels turned. It was the coolest thing i had ever seen...way cooler than omni wheels or tracks or 6wd or anything i had ever seen.
You guys know who you are...it was insane.

That's team 357. While a mechanum drive is quite impressive, teams have done them before.
Holonomic drives, such as 1002's, and 116's. or kiwi drives like 857's also can drive in any direction instantly.
