Re: Mecanum Wheels is it good fin the Pits

As part of team 1083 we did omni wheels. It was awesome to work with and fun. Loved to watch the bot move around.

BUT you loose major pushing power maybe 45% where a few percentage points of extra push makes the difference.

With 1902 we ended up going to the basic six wheel design that was a strong pusher and turned well plus a lot easier to work with.

There maybe games where mechanism will be an advantage, but pushing seems to be a major issue most years.
