Re: Mecanum drive question (Square configuraton?)
Don't confuse mecanum with holonomic. Holonomic drives use omni wheels in an x pattern and work best in a symetric layout. Mecanum drives use wheels with rollers at 45 deg to the plane of rotation and don't need to be x'ed. Both drive systems use one motor/gearbox per wheel.
