Re: Mecanum Defense
Watch 1138's matches from L.A. to see how to use a mecanum to slow down two robots. You did not want to be against them if you were a tube robot.

Re: Mecanum Defense
At Lone Star Regional, team 118 (Robonauts) used a "v6 engine"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=h3l6Xqts4to they basically put together 6 motors to create a monster v6 engine. Their arm was very quick and effective, allowing them to score a row of 8 by themselves. We *team 846* had saw that video before we arrived at the regional and were somewhat curious how we were going to defend them. When our match against them finally came, we just double teamed their robot, eventually blowing out their v6, forcing them to use their backup v6. A double team can easily force a blown engine = great defense. ![]() |

Quote:
During quarter final match 1 we took a hit that caused some electrical problems in the robot. Our frantic troubleshooting caused other problems and we were never fully functional the rest of the tournament. It was a struggle to get a robot out on the field after each tough match which followed. It seemed everything that could go wrong with the robot went wrong... except the V6. There was no "blown engine"... just one that came out of gear due to a hard hit in the last match. |

Re: Mecanum Defense
If the rack is defended properly by a 4/6/8 wheel drive robot, it is just as good if not better than the macanum drives. It all depends on how you try to defend.
