Re: Wheel Diameter of Mecanums
Having used both 6'' mecanums and 8'' AndyMark mecanums extensively, I've had far better results with the former, both in terms of performance and quality of the product.
I don't know why anyone would specifically go for larger mecanum wheels; this past year 4464 used 8'' AndyMark mecanums because they were donated, but we honestly would have done better to just buy a set of 6'' given the problems we've had with them.
I look forward to trying out 4'' mecanums (probably in an octanum setting) when they (likely) become available.
