Re: Omnidirectional Drives Aiming High
I can only remember 2 Holonomic drive systems from the BAE Regional.
40 had one and it was very obvious, you could see those mecanum wheels without any problem. They were a shooter so they were attacked during their offensive periods and were easily pushed around due to their wheels. They made it to the finals due to their autonomous which scored a couple 3 pointers which was enough to win.
213's wheels were harder to see but they floated around in every direction like 40. They were a side scorer so they had an easier time and weren't harassed nearly as much, because of that I didn't get to see anyone push them or anything.
Those teams didn't really use their manuverability to their advantage. 40's autonomous did in one instance. There was a defensive autonomous from another team that just went straight towards 40. 40 drove forward and then to the side and scored their balls without being touched by the defensive autonomous.
