Re: 4 vs 6 wheels (what to choose)

My team is trying out mecanums for the first time this year... mostly because we thought the wheels looked really cool (joking). But really, I've seen a few threads on this forum about 6 wheels vs 4 wheels and I think the problem is that we need to define what maneuverability is once and for all for the purposes of FRC robots. If maneuverability includes strafing then obviously 4 wheel mecanum drive wins, however if u say maneuverability is the ability to have as much control over the robot as possible and get from one point to another as fast as possible and with control and you exclude strafing then the six wheel drive system would be more maneuverable (provided you have some method of preventing the front and/or rear wheels from skipping). All drive trains have they're pros and cons and it comes down to your knowledge of the different type of systems, how you plan to implement the system and your team's strategy for the game.
