Re: Octocanum Drive/ Mecanum Suspension Designs?

3309 used an octacanum drive in 2014 with suspended mecanum. We had the mecanum geared for 17 ft/sec and the traction for 4 ft/sec. It worked well but we had to make sure to conserve our air so as not to run out and drive on eight wheels going at two different speeds (yikes). Although we did well and that never happened in a match. Also looking back on it we probably would have used a 6 wheel west coast drive last year to maintain traction when doing turning maneuvers quickly (it depends on the game obviously). I will look for some photos and post it here if I find them.
