Re: Teams With Mecanum Wheels
Sounds like a neat drive. I too would have been reluctant at first to the field orientation, but could be very useful once you are accustamed to it. Our team hopes to use Mecanum Wheels next year on our robot, perhaps we will have to look into field orientation driving. We look forward to the white paper on manufacture as well!

I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more]
