I'm guessing most people think mecanum is complex because thinking about how it moves can hurt your brain initially. And maybe they're worried about getting the wheel configuration wrong. In reality the most complicated thing is making sure all your wheels hit the ground most of the time, and that weight is relatively evenly distributed (side to side, at the least).
Worst problem I ever had was when someone pulled the PWMs on a mecanum robot we'd misplaced the code for. Working out which PWM was for which wheel was somewhat frustrating for about 30 minutes or so.
It goes to show how a FIRST team is not one person but a complex codependence of people who are all striving to meet the same goal. - Bill_Hancoc [more]
