Re: Pros/Cons of Mecanum Drive?

mecanum drive is pretty useful. You can move in any direction while still retaining your direction and has more traction than normal omni-wheels. It is easy to program and looks amazing if used. However, mecanum wheels are incredibly expensive.

Otherwise, it is a great method of movement!
