With mecanum wheels, the mounting is very important, and is a common source of error:
  • each mecanum wheel is either right-handed or left-handed. It is important that the wheels are mounted at the correct locations on the vehicle

  • mounting mecanum wheels at the end of a "stalk" that is not stiff enough can cause control issues
