For the record, once again, I am neutral on the mecanum drive discussion. For some circumstances, it is a decent choice; for others, it is not. Sometimes a claw hammer is really nice; other times it's completely inappropriate.

What I am against is the folks who disparage mecanum drive on the face of it being mecanum drive. Save that hatred for scissorlifts.
I totally agree with you, scissorlifts are awful

I definitely just misread your post! My bad, you weren't saying that mecanum is good for everybody... not sure how I read it that way the first time!
