Re: The advantage of holonomic drivetrains

Looks like the 4 and 6-wheel drives won out this year, even though holonomic's sooo much cooler.
i have also seen this at many regionals. a robot with holonomic drive would have to be so fast that a 4wd or 6wd bot could not stop you. think of Hot team 67 last year (see below). it was similar drive, i witnessed the robot do a pick and roll maneuver that you see in basketball with. you need to have holonomic drive perfectly right to have it work effectively.
