Re: Mecanum or 6WD

Do any of you predict that there will be tubes on the ground? It seems unlikely because teams are not able to take tubes from opposing team robots. If each robot gets control of tubes from the feeding sites, virtually no tubes will be "up for grabs". This is a huge factor in deciding whether to go Mecanum or 6WD because if there is a lot of travel back and forth from feeders to pegs, 6WD would be preferred. However, if there are tubes in the middle of the field, i feel that mecanum will be more usefull since they are able to pick up tubes and travel a shorter distance to the pegs.
