Re: Help with Omni wheels?

I wouldn't say mecanum wheels are better than omni wheels, they are quite different and transfer power differently to the movement of the bot, but I wouldn't call them better, I find the biggest thing about having a strafing bot, is to make sure your driving practices, and uses all the advantages the wheels give you (too often do I see a bot with mecanums or omnis being driving like a 4wd bot, I dislike it lol)

for the record omni and mecanums have slightly different pros and cons about them and depending on how you want to drive it or how skilled your driver is at controlling them, ethier one could seem "better" than the other for your team, I personally perfer omns over mecanums!
