Questions on Mecanum wheels

[Sperkowsky]

Last year was the first time my team used mecanum wheels and in all honesty they ended up being a huge learning curve and a giant waste of time. This years objective does change stuff a bit. We went mecanum wheels again and they are just about installed. The thing is remember you need double the gear boxes and double the moters. It's also a much bigger stress on your coder and will easily take a full day to dial in correctly. The other thing is this year's chassi doesn't natively fit 4 tuff box nanos or tuff box minis(ones included in kop) the way the chassi is made also makes it impossible to mount 4 minis so you have to buy 4 new gear boxes (assuming you don't have them around) then at that point you have to drill holes to match the nanos. It also means 2 more talons or jaguarsso more on the wiring.. Think about whether it is worth the stress. Anyway happy building
