Re: pic: 2009 Mecanum Hub - Team 1595

Rules aside (as you can argue either way), there is one other issue. Mecanum is cool, but don't make design decisions before Kickoff. You don't know what the game is, or if mecanums are going to be a good option. (Or even if you can get that 5-axis CNC...) If you lock in now, you may easily be at a competitive disadvantage come competition.
