Here is a short compilation of our mecanum from 2013. I think this was probably one of our most effective mecanum robots.

You should post this in the Mechanum vs Tank Drive thread if you haven't already. Those spin moves your driver did were disgustingly good...and not possible with tank drive either....I think.

Thanks for that video - it helps show off the best of what Mecanum can offer. I see a lot more strafing and even more 'whip arounds' that proved beneficial.

It seems like there were as many great uses of field elements to dodge defense in addition to the agility. If the pyramids were solid, do you expect you'd have similar results? There are very similar pinch points this year.

Re: Cost of Andymark 6" Mecanum Wheels

But why are you using giant vectored intake wheels on the drivetrain?

I've said for a while that 2052 is the only team I've ever seen do mecanum well, and Silverfish (if I remember the name correctly) is certainly case in point. I've never seen another team approach what they were able to do with mecanum, especially 2012-14.

I do not think we would have been as effective had the pyramids been solid. A lot of our strategy that year used the 4 corners of the pyramids to set picks for ourselves. We still would have been able to utilize the 180 spins to get out of T-bones and to quickly line up to the feeder.

Please let us know if we can build our bot around these wheels.
I've seen plenty of intakes that use only 2 mecanum wheels. A good example of what you are doing is the Rhino Track Drive Modules that were popular last year. Each of them is $369 and I can't say I ever saw a single one used on a bot, but you could if you wanted to (maybe we will as a conveyor somewhere this year). Enter each wheel as a separate COTS accounting item on the CAW.

The intent of the rule is that you can't purchase an unassembled kit of 3 parts for $200 each that are also sold as a fully assembled module for $700 and consider them separate COTS items if they are essentially useless unless combined into that module. That is attempting to skirt the $400 max per module rule in R11.

Even though the *normal* (whatever that is when talking about mecanum wheels anyway) method is to use them as a set of 4 in a drivetrain, there are many other uses.
