Re: The advantage of holonomic drivetrains
team 830, my team, made a holonomic robot this year, and I think that the advantages have helped more than the disadvantages. Having it eliminates the need for a turret, since we have code that will auto rotate the base to allign the camera with the shooter, and we can also play an Allen Iverson or Rip Hamilton style offense that allows for quick shots, even if we have to move around a little bit after making 2 or 3. Additionally, if we do get in the right range, we can quickly posisiton and make many shots in a row. We were one of four holonomic robots at waterloo, and I think we were among the best of the overall competition. In the eliminations we found ways to score against the #3 alliance (who ended up as regional finalists ) and we actually scored almost all the points for our alliance, inluding 36 in match.
