Re: Code For Mecanum Wheels

Oh, cool!

So what's the big diffrence between (in terms of pros/cons)?

The only thing I can point out is that mec has big 45 degree angled wheels along the whole "big wheel" frame, and the omni has small pendecular (however you write that...90 degrees) wheels (and much more of them) along the "big wheel".

Mec takes more space and requires the robot's "inner" base be smaller due to the bigger space required to insert the wheel.

and it seems the mec is a bit more suffisticated in terms of the way it's designed and therefore I presume that the price for mec wheels are higher than omni.

right/wrong? what else?
