Re: Supershifters and Mechanum wheels

As above said, there is no "best ratio". It should be fit into your strategy. So, with a wide open field like this year, you might want a higher ratio if you were going to be running cycles to and from the pyramid, so you can cross the court swiftly. Whereas if you were a team that wished to block a cycler, you might have a much lower ratio, so that you could at least push them around and slow them down. However, with a divided field like last year, you would be looking at a totally different setup, with a lower "speed" ratio (because of acceleration up to your top speed). It all depends on strategy and how you think matches will end up being played out.
