Re: pic: 2009 Mecanum Hub - Team 1595

I have just uploaded the hub with the rollers finished. If we do not get a 5-axis we will just use our previous mecanum design. We have had mecanums for the past three years. This is just a significantly lighter way of creating them. Will post pics of old ones soon.

We are in no way locking ourselves into these hubs. We will not request them to be manufactured until after we know the challenge and have evaluated the advantages and disadvantages. For overdrive we seriously considered not using them, but decided the maneuverability we would gain we more than make up for the speed loss when trying to pick up the ball.
