Re: What Pushed You Toward Mecanum Drive This Season?
Mecanum was our backup plan for swerve drive! 1727 started the season looking towards swerve drive because it is awesome. However, we quickly figured out that you should not try swerve for the first time during build season. While we could have built one, it would have put us behind schedule, and with this snowstorm lopping one week off of our build season, I am glad we went with mecanum.
