Re: mecanum vs. omni

Maybe that would be a very stupid question... but I need to make it, so first of all i will explain the situation

Here in Brazil, no team has used Omni or Mechanum wheels at all... and i must say that my team has an old obsession about using it... but since no team here in brazil has used, is very hard to get them here, and we didn't talk so much about it before, some things are "dark" for us...

I would like to know the diference between Holonomic drive, Omnidrive and as i saw in some posts here... the Kiwi drive...
i mean about the movements of the bot... is there any difference or it's just the way the wheels and the system is designed??

We never heard about it before... for us using these kind of wheels would create just one more way to drive the bot... and now we see that we have 3 at least... we are confused...
