Mecanum wheels friction coeff- will it work?

Having done the calculations, and real world testing, Team 1716 has found that the 8" mecanum wheels will successfuly go over the hump. Unfortunatly we did have to modify the KOP wheel brackets. Once that had been accomplished, we had no problems!

Just curious... How are you planning on configuring your operator interface for controlling the mecanum wheels?

e.g.

Joystick1 y-axis controls fwd/rev for all 4 wheels and
Joystick1 x-axis controls right/left slide and
Joystick2 x-axis control right/left spin

OR

Joystick1 y-axis controls fwd/rev for left wheels and
Joystick2 y-axis controls fwd/rev for right wheels and
Joystick1 x-axis controls right/left slide

OR

something else??

we are using a single 3 Axis Joystick vs. the ones provided in the KOP.

y-Axis=Forward/Reverse
x-Axis=Left/Right
"z"-Axis=Spin Left/Right

We are using a Joystick similar to this in which you can spin the joystick left and right.

Hope this helps!
