nice vid guys, it's really great and i am really happy that you guys including everthing down to the coding not sparing a thing

though mechanum is the way to go

Woah... I thought this was FRC and almost died. In fact, maybe I did. Please never use omni ever in FRC.

Care to explain why? I've seen some dominant omni wheel-using FRC robots (1501 in 2010 springs quickly to mind), and lots of very effective 4wd, 6wd or 8wd drivetrains use omnis.

We used Omni in 2011 and were finalist at Lone Star.

It has been done in FRC before and been pretty successful.

Amazing video guys!! I see you also do VEX along with FTC. Are you using this same drive for VEX?

We personally have no experience in FRC so we wouldn't know :P (but I imagine it works as good as it does in FTC). We do also compete in VEX (we are team 4131, you can see us at the World Championship), and we didn't opt to use OMNIs there, we actually use Mecanum. We are happy you liked it,

Greetings

Congrats!! We look forward to seeing you at Championships. Come check us out VEX 2587) in the pits. I believe we'll have 3 teams there.

We are really happy you liked it. We in fact know about Mechanum wheels, but as they are not officially out for the Tetrix platform, this has been our alternative for the past few seasons, well see about building ones for next season,
