Re: Dual Mecanum

Thanks for the quick and thorough response Joe.

We have always focused on suggestion #2, angular rate feedback, and have never made a conscious effort to balance the normal force between each wheel. I have rarely had the luxury to, in the past I'm always trying to remove weight where ever possible.

Intuitively, I figured decreasing the vibration amplitude in half and consequently doubling the frequency by using dualies would improve strafing drift. I'll definitely try out tip #1 first.

Thanks again,

Dave
