Mecanum Einstein this year

Most of all, I long to give others a chance to experience what I did with FIRST, to give people from my home town that opportunity, because FIRST really is that once in a lifetime opportunity that so many people dont get a chance to be a part of. It shouldnt be that way. - Jacqui Sutton [more]

Re: Mecanum Einstein this year

I think that eventually we will see one in the next few years. I have seen several teams with mecanums who are programming their robots to give them a competitive edge. Granted there are trade offs but 1503 proved this year that trade offs don't hurt you when done right.

I have seen one mecanum robot from this year that can't be pushed easy and from knowing this team, they will build immensely on what they learned this year!
