1. Would Holonomic wheels skid on carpet when trying to gain speed or push? How much so?
2. While trying to go from high speed to strafing around a corner would there be some diagnol skid?
3. What is your general thought on Mecanum vs Holonomic in terms of stability if we did the / \ design with holonomic?
4. The rubber on Mecanum...I have heard it is horrible for traction on carpet even compared to the plastic of holonomic...is this true? or does the rubber help make the robot more capable of pushing or holding its ground.

And lastly when strafing with Mecanum ive been told you loose half the speed compared to straight aways....assuming thats true do you think thats really a bad thing or would that allow for better controllability?

Anyway if you guys could answer any or all of them It would be amazing thanks....Team303
You've got your terms confused. You mean OMNI wheels vs. Mechanum wheels. Both result in a holonomic drive system, but use different methods.

The short version is, both are reasonably complex to program mechanum will result in a more highly geared robot for similar speed, and I'm really not sure which ends up with the best traction.
