Re: mecanum vs. omni

I can't see them giving you much more traction. Omni and mecanums are fairly close when they come to lack or traction. mecanums may have a slight advantage, but not as much as you would think. As I pointed out at our meeting today, mecanums slow down a lot when strafing, which is one of the drawbacks, it won't be uniform no matter what direction you choose. Keep it in mind!!!
