Re: which holonomic drivetrain do YOU think is the best any why???

Asking which one is best is a bit difficult because there are many factors involved like, Cost, Build Difficulty, Programming, Control, etc...

Personally, the only type of Omni-Drive I would consider is a Swerve. The upside to a swerve drive is that you have full traction, which is something that Holonomics and Mecanums lack. The downside to a swerve is that it's difficult to build and can be a pain to program and drive.
