Go to Post I am a 2-3 year competition veteran, and a new member at chief delphi, and everyone here seems to be as nice as they are at the competition. Very gracious, you might say. - Ian S. [more]

As a general rule I agree with this very much.

However, a mecanum drive with directly-driven wheels is incredibly simple to build, and the programming for teleop omnidirectional drive is pretty much built right into the libraries.
