Re: Drivetrain First Thoughts?

My first thought was

Tank drive will never work, since you have such an awful turning radius, unless your scoring system is seperate from the direction the robot is facing.

Next I thought Mecanum, since they can go sideways, and line up great for an elevator style scorer. But then I realized that mecanums are quite slow, so its quite a conondrum.

Could someone outline why 6WD would be good for this year?
