Re: The advantage of holonomic drivetrains

While I origianally wanted omni drive we decided against it for a strong drive train to play defense with.

Team 40 had an extremely effective shooter using mecanum wheels (jester drive) They were very easy to push around but required constant attention because they could quickly line up and shoot if they were left alone. The biggest advantage to their drive was their multiple Auto modes they often evaded defensive bots and scored 7+ balls this combined with very smart driving and strategy seeded them 3rd and got them all the way to the finals in Boston.

213 also used omni drive very effectively to make one of the best side goal dumpers that I saw in boston and manchester they were very difficult to defend and often dumped 20 balls with no problem.
