[Burmeister #279]

I've been discussing Mecanum with my team as well and completely agree that committing before the 4th at bare minimum is an extremely bad idea in the sense that it could just not work for the game or at the very worst GDC could outlaw it. =/

however, [as is the case with my team *currently*] not even thinking about it do parts/labor/programming needs and the fact we've never done it before is... well, just an excuse. Nobody did it before they did it ya know? that's plain logic. If anyone remembers any of 279's robots, they can see that tank drive with an occasional perpindicular omni has been used EVERY year since Jake in 2001. I think, being our 11th year, it's time to try something new, but nobody's willing to commit the resources. I'm pretty sure that even though 6w with a larger or offset middle wheel has been the driveline of champions the past few years the mentors on my team will still not consider an alternate driveline. my question to CD is who wants to help me/us do something differant assuming something doesn't develop before... say december?


Btw, this is my first post!!! so a little about myself: My name is Nick Burmeister, though most call just call me Burmeister. I'm a Second Year student on Tech Fusion - 279. I was the 2008 Driver and Student-head of building driveline.
