Mecanum Einstein this year

I will never forget Dean's opening lines: "I want you to know that I am here under protest. I believe that everything you are doing here is repugnant and ethically wrong. And now I am going to tell you why..." And for the next 35 minutes, that is exactly what he did. - dlavery [more]

Re: Mecanum Einstein this year

I hope we will see a slide drive on Einstein, but other than that i don't think anything on Einstein will be mechanum, crab, or omni, simple reason: speed, although Mechanums can be geared to the same speed as a tank or other drive, 4 shifting gearboxes would be a little bit of weight. anyone who has a shifting gearbox up near 16+ feet per second is going to score more.
