Re: Mecanum or 6WD

our team talked about this for about 2 hours on Saturday. both are great choices for this game. as a former driver, including '07, i preferred meccanums. i like the overall driving capabilities along with the option for precise strafing movements when going to hang a tube. it doesn't fair too well with defensive play but it can hold its own.
6WD is also great with the traction and pushing power it delivers. it does lack the unique abilities for precise movement that meccanums have. but seeing that a huge number of successful teams used 6WD in '07 i'm sure they'll work great as well.
