Re: What Pushed You Toward Mecanum Drive This Season?
We also built our mecanum wheels hoping for great manuverability. We weren't sure it would go over a bump, but so many teams showed this is possible we decided in week 3 to go for it. The 10" wheels were so expensive, we decided to build our own 8" wheels. So far we are happy with the result and working on adding some bells and whistles like gyros, serial2CAN position/velocity control to make it better. What about you?
