Re: Sanity Check! Mecanum wheels...

Speaking from a team that had it's team in an O shape and could not turn... YOU MUST HAVE YOUR WHEELS IN AN 'X' shape when looking down at the bot. Underneath, the wheels will look like a diamond or O shape.

Many of the pictures of mecanum wheels on the Internet are put on wrong. Several of the CAD files are also wrong. The wheels will go forward, back, and strafe but NOT ROTATE in a circle.
