Wheels. Wheels. Wheels.

We're thinking that we'll need mecanum wheels, for a few reasons.

1. Lining up with the gear peg will be much easier if we can slide laterally after we target it with our vision system. If we went with a normal drive base, we'd have to curve ourway into alignment, which seems to be too much trouble.

2. It would be very nice to glide sideways right into the hoppers, so as to get one set of 50 fuel to fall into our basket. I'm not sure this would be possible on a robot with normal wheels unless the wide side of your robot was the front.
