Re: Mecanum or Swerve?

Well, I've been doing some research, and from the looks of it, I think what you use is really dependent on what you're trying to do with the drive. As Jeffy said before, Metal Mustang Robotics are using mecanums this year and they're working like a boss for us up in offensive. The only (slight) problem is probably just getting "bullied" by other robots. We got some faster sprockets for them and we can normally out-maneuver the defending robot. So far, we don't have a swerve yet, but it's definitely an off-season project our build team, or at least the build team captain, is looking in to.
