Re: AndyMark Mecanum Wheel tests

Top speed (100% throttle) with:

1. 8" mecanum wheels (forward/backward)
2. 8" mecanum wheels (strafing left/right)
3. 8" kit wheels

All with the same chassis weight, number of motors, and gear ratio.

Your pushing test will determine how much torque is lost (if any) due to the mecanum geometry - this test would answer the same question about speed.
