Re: Mecanum or 6WD

I'm currently leaning toward 6WD because of how i'm predicting the game to be. I feel that there is always going to be a team who plays defensive. There is no point of having a great mecanum drive train if we can't get to the scoring grid. If there is a bot that plays defense on us, and plays it decently well, a mecanum drive train will be stopped. Regardless of its maneuverability, the scoring grid is surrounded on both sides with opposing team zones which we are not allowed in. Of course, the same problem occurs with a 6WD. However, i'd much rather take my chances with ramming into the side of a defending robot and see whats happens than waste precious time trying to overcome a robot. Any thoughts?
