Re: 2015: Year of the Mecanum
Hi Mark. I am trying to educate the great people of CD proper mecanum spelling. If I don't, who will? I like to think of myself as the Batman for mecanum spelling.

What really matters is communication, and anything roughly of the form mec(h?)(a?)num is easily recognizable. The spelling is bizarre anyways. If it's important to you to get people to spell it correctly, my recommendation would be to write helpful or interesting responses to other posts, and add "FYI: 'mecanum' is the correct spelling" at the end.

Re: 2015: Year of the Mecanum
At Championships a few years ago someone cut me off mid-sentence to correct my pronunciation of mecanum....
I looked him in the eyes, dead-pan, and said, "I don't care." He about lost his head under his little jesterly hat. |

Re: 2015: Year of the Mecanum
Has anyone done anything with using a gyro to correct mecanum issues? People have mentioned it in this thread but I couldn't find any examples online (all I found were examples of how to use gyros for field-oriented control, which is cool too). It seems like it would be fairly simple to, say, store the current gyro angle whenever you start going straight (i.e. not rotating), and have a PID controller change the "rotate" value to maintain the same angle as long as you're trying not to turn. Has anyone done anything like this?
I don't think "mecanum" even has a correct pronunciation; on our team we say me-CAN-um /məˈkę.nəm/, but I think i've heard MEC-(a)-num /ˈmɛk.(ə.)nəm/, which presumably is where the "mecnum" spelling comes from. |

Re: 2015: Year of the Mecanum
The platforms are two inches high and the ramps are at 16 degrees, giving robots seven inches horizontally to move two vertically.

Re: 2015: Year of the Mecanum
There's nothing in the manual about not driving over the scoring platforms. In fact, it makes sense that many robots would have to drive on them in order to deposit their payloads.
