Re: Drivetrain First Thoughts?

If you build it and program it to, a mecanum wheeled robot can move forward, backward, sideways, at an angle, and also rotate about it's center (or any combination of these at once)

What it can't do quite as well as a robot with "normal" wheels, is get a lot of traction.
