Holonomic drive train and field-based control
We're considering using a holonomic drive for the upcoming season. We have a few questions for any teams that have done this in the past:

What is the approximate cost of the materials needed?
How significant is the reduction in pushing power?
What are the (dis)advantages of field-based control?
Overall, is it worth it?

Thanks,
David
