Re: Mecanum Mobilator Platform
I think the biggest problem you're going to run into trying to move that heavy load with mecanums is their low CoF. Before you settle on mecanum wheels I would do the physics to make sure that they can carry that load without just slipping in place.
Servos I'd say are out of the question. There's no point in using a servo if you don't need to be able to set the angle it should be at (which you don't need to do for drive wheels). I'd probably go with DC brushless because you won't need a converter to take a battery's DC to AC.
