Re: A small issue with our Mecanums

Well i think you have your wheels backward...you need to swap the right and left i think...Talk to M. Krass. She knows a lot and is very helpful.

Re: A small issue with our Mecanums

Is that diagram from the top or the bottom? From the top of the robot, the rollers should form an X, or looking up from the bottom they should form a diamond (<>).

Thank you, I can see how that would definitely assist in turning, but how would it change horizontal motion?

I will try to get a hold of M. Krass.

Re: A small issue with our Mecanums

The rollers touching the ground should be able to roll toward and away from the center of the robot. If you can spin your robot in place without any of the wheels moving, you've got your wheels backwards.
