But you didn't add a lever to the system, or change the one that already existed. The wheels are the same diameter. The same torque on the axle should produce the same force at the edge, right?
I'm trying to understand the vectors as you are trying to describe them, and I'm failing utterly. Can you explain how they work when a mecanum drivebase is traveling at 45 degrees? I wouldn't expect more than 100% of the force to be available in that case either.
