One of the more uncommon drive systems which still proves useful is the h-drive. This system has omnis on all corners, with a central omni to provide lateral movement. Our team has thrown around the idea of using h-drive as a less complicated mechanum system. The movement is near-identical to mechanum and debatably easier to build. This of course being in contrast to using tank drive (reliable and simple). Can we get some insight?

Mechanically, H-drive is harder to make because you need the center wheel, but programming-wise, assuming you're writing your code from the ground up, H-drive is a breeze compared to Mecanum.
Successful teams - in almost any aspect of life (i.e. not just robotics) - don't make excuses and assign blame when something goes wrong. They improvise. They adapt. They overcome. They correct the problem and move on. - dlavery [more]
