Re: Mecanum Drive - Help

Just because someone has Mecanum wheels does not mean that they can't play defense or push. I am a part of team 357 who had the jester drive system. We had this drive train in 2006 and became a defending robot by pushing. Depending on how well they are designed, Mecanum wheels can also be extremely good at climbing inclines. In 2006 again we made it up the ramp easily, which was often better than the teams we were playing with/against.
