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

1) What are the requirements of the game?
2) What can you build and program in the 6 weeks?

If the drive you choose fits both, it is the best.

If I had to choose, I'd go with mecanum, because it's relatively easy to swap out the mecanums for some standard wheels and spacers. Swerve, you have to lock the modules (depending somewhat on what arrangement you have).

BTW, Kiwi Drive is 3 omni wheels arranged in a triangle.
