Re: Mecanum Wheel Considerations
With the lack of pushing power in mind, watch some of the videos of mecanum bots in action, and realize two things:
1. You're going to need to develop some way for your drivers to control a robot that can move in two directions and rotate all at the same time.
2. Your drivers are going to have to figure out how to drive the darned thing well enough to avoid getting cornered.
This means you're going to need to finish a driveable mecanum base early enough that your programmers can get it moving AND that your drivers can get comfortable with it.
