My question for those experienced with mecanum set ups is can they be used on a rectangular base? I don't see an issue with motion in the X & Y directions and maybe the diagonals might be a bit off, but what happens to a zero degree spin in such a situation??

If you build a closed-loop system, you can compensate for the misalignment of the mecanum wheel rollers on a rectangular base. We built an open-loop system and the error created in diagonal movement because of our rectangular base was insignificant compared to the overall error due to variances in motor operation and gearbox efficiency at each wheel.
