Re: Mecanum Wheels is it good fin the Pits

Once kickoff is over, I will be posting up a new breed of omni drive systems (not mecanum though) which helps them with the pushing problem, if anyone is interested be sure to look out for it, I am putting the finishing touches on the design as we speak!

If you use mecanums on your robot, all you must is learn to drive with (not against) the force of other robots, this concept is applied in a lot of thing (martial arts mainly, as thats what I do for a living) and it will help you when driving.

Mecanum and omni are two very different drive styles than 4 wheel, 6 wheel etc.... So if you do make it, do your best not to drive like a 4 wheel or you will get shoved everywhere!
