Re: Cheap and Dirty Prototype

Hi there,

You will get better performance (actually being able to strafe) out of mecanum wheels by installing them on your robot in the correct orientation. When viewed from the top, the rollers on the chassis should form an 'X' as outlined in this document.

Good luck this season!

-Nick

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
