Mecanum Drive Killing Battery
Hey CD i am a member of team 1768. We have been toying with the idea of mecanum drive this year and have read tons of of threads here on CD about it. One thing that was brought to our attention today that we have never heard here on CD is that it kills your battery pretty quickly. It makes sense that driving 4 CIMs would kill the battery faster than two. What has your experience been with mecanum drive and power consumption?
