Re: Pic: Easy to make mecanums..

Its not that 45* is most efficient. It is that 45* results in the max speed to the side is equally to the max speed forward. They are actually less efficient than say 30* because the rollers need to turn faster when moving in a direction other than forward. Of course 30* also means that the max side speed is lower than the max forward speed and the pushing power is greater.
