Re: Mecanum Wheels

At IGVC a few years ago I saw a team that built large custom mecanum wheels out of razor scooter wheels. They seemed to have a tendency to get clogged with grass. Pretty awesome nonetheless.

From an autonomous perspective, are you going to really have enough sensors to take advantage of the strafing motion? It seems like you'd need to be able to align your sensor array with your direction of travel.
