Re: Mecanum or 6WD
Main reason (as of day 2 of the build) for not doing a Mecanum drive, the work best when each wheel has an equal force on it (weight) the fact that we will be moving arms (or something) around to score will be shifting that weight, admittedly that will be in a "safe" zone. But while on the field these shifts can lead to chaotic motions from a Mecanum drive.
But the drive isn't *completely* off the list yet , but 6 wheel is easy, light, inexpensive, easy to program and drive, predictable, robust, able to run while damaged and we tend to have better years when we use 6WD
