Go to Post I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. - =Martin=Taylor= [more]

Re: What type of drive train is the most maneuverable?

While mecanum provides a nice balance of maneuverability with traction, the wheels themselves are fairly complicated, fragile, and can be expensive to machine/purchase. A two drive wheel two caster design is cheap in comparison and still provides great maneuverability. We chose the two caster design for our bot this past year.
