Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
but with tall robots and heavy loads they will be very tippy

Yes you can put 4" mecanum wheels on your robot seeing how both vendors offer them.

Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
Consider though that it might not let you go over the ramps.

Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
I like WCD for this one, it's a lot faster than mecanum (the other option my team has the resources to use) and is maneuverable enough to do what it needs to do. Our team did really well in Stack Attack with tank drive. I don't think WCD or tank are out of the option.

Why do you say that?

Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
because it is true. If you have the same gearboxes with the same motors, the wheels rotate at the same speed, but mecanum looses some of that due to the way the wheels are angled.

A better way to look at this game is analyze where your robot needs to go and what is between you and that point. How do you get from these points the fastest? Will that route change during the match? If so how do you overcome that? |

Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
Is there a rule prohibiting you from putting 4" wheels on your robot?
If you want to use 4" mecanum wheels from AndyMark, make sure to order this set of wheels and not this set, which is designed for FTC robots and is not rated for the weight of an FRC robot. (VexPro only sells one type of 4" mecanum wheel, and it's rated for FRC robot weights.) |

Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
Just be careful on using slide if you are using 2"x1" frame because that middle wheel is likely to be damage by going over the platform

Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
Why would you gear two different drive systems the same?

However if you used slide you would have to build a kind of suspension system to prevent the center wheel from being snapped off when going over the bumpity bump

Now if you don't use all 6 cims you would have in theory 3 spare cims. Thats a lot of motors for super structure. |

Re: 2015: Mecanum or Slide?
Most swerve drives I've seen have four modules with 1 CIM each, although I have seen one offseason swerve drivetrain that used 3 modules.
