Re: Mecanum Drive Killing Battery
My former team (team 935) has made many robots that use a mecanum drive, and we have never ran into any problems with running out of power. during testing of our robots before competition we could run our robot for a good 5 minutes at full speed before we started having power loss issues. One charged battery should easily last one round, and be able to run your mecanum drive along with your other motors as well.
