1675 used mecanum fro the first time last year, and although it was hard, I had fun learning all the vector theory to program it. |
Like josh said, Our progrem team did have fun programing it. Its wasn't really hard to build, we had a rolling chassic by week two last year (it wouldn't been soon by due to the shortage of AM mecanum we get done a little later) it was on the KOP chassic with the wonderful BaneBots transmissions.
The only problem we truely had was it wasn't encoded. It was open loop.
Would i do it again, sure if we make a custom chassic so the wheel are perfectly squared and encoded, i would do it in a heart beat.
