Re: Check it out

i quickly read/skimmed the article and there are some interesting points about efficiency of the different mountings of the mecanum wheel rollers. As far as the drive base with 2 sets of wheels the applications for FIRST are limited because of weight. it also seem unnecessary because their only reasoning for the 2 sets of wheels is rough terrain which we won't typically have in FIRST.
