Re: A new drivetrain Idea?

Mechanums would theoretically give you full range of manueverabilty even with the wings fully swung out, albeit with reduced speed in most directions. I must admit that the code for mixing a joystick signal to appropriate motor signals at any amount of swing out would be a headache I wouldn't look forward to, but you would have just about the coolest drivetrain around if you pulled it off well.
