Re: Crab Drive HELP!!***

Can't this team just use the Andymark Mecanum drive that is available as a COTS item?
Fabrication time of the drive wheels themselves would essentially be nothing at that point, (minus some obvious separate assembly time) and then it's just a matter of waiting for it to be shipped to you, mounting it on the robot, and then having drivers practice with them.

Am I missing something here with my suggestion?
