Re: Swerve/Crab
Mecanum is rather iffy. First, you'll never get the full power of the motors because it's vector based. Also, it's somewhat difficult to keep your robot from turning in circles when going sideways. I'm guessing this is due to not all motors having the exact same specs as all the other motors. That's another thing with mecanum, you have to have a motor per wheel with no chain. When we tried out a mecanum drive base, there were some issues with use going around in circles.
