Re: pic: Omni Design Trial
Thinking that mecanums perform the same as a solid wheel when traveling forwards and backwards is flawed. Motors can not be applying a force and simultaneously perform as if they were not applying that force.
If you draw a vector diagram for a mecanum wheel, you get a line going at an angle to the axis of rotation. The forward pointing vector is a component vector and is of less magnitude than the diagonal vector. Summing these forward vectors give you a lower magnitude then if you had standard wheels in which the entire vector is pointing in the forward direction. |
