Re: 2008 and drivetrains
I think teams that quickly jump to mecanum and omni wheeled designs may regret that choice later on.
Yes, FIRST is discouraging defense, but do you really think with 6 robots on the field and 4 40" 10 lb balls there isn't going to be any collisions and interference? Knowing this is probably going to happen, I'd rather be the 6WD bot with nice high traction wheels than a holomonic (guess who is going to be knocked of course more....).
Now, a crab drive is ideal; but we can't all pull it off.
If there was ever a year to call Wildstang's, I think this is it.
