Re: 4" Mecanum Wheels
I would like to know if 6" mecanum wheels would work as well as 8" for a robot that is close to the weight limit. One of my coaches read that 6" are ineffective on a robot that is over 70lbs, and we are trying to do figure out if that is true or not.

Thankyou

Re: 4" Mecanum Wheels
That's false; our robot weighed in at 95 last year and the 6" Vex wheels worked wonders on our robot.
