Re: fine control of robot with mecanum wheels
As a point of reference, we used the AndyMark 8", directly driven with 12:1 transmissions. For control we used Logitech 3d, using the 'twist' of the joystick for rotation.

They were driven by PWM, w/o feedback. Rotation/twist was scaled down.

This worked fine on both our test-bot and the final robot.
