Tank Drive vs. Omni Directional Drive
It seems like a lot of teams are using mecanum, and some even omni, wheels this year so my question is with all these teams using these wheels, how many of those teams are using just normal tank drive and how many are using an omni directional drive to control their robot?
Please only vote on the poll if your using mecanum or omni wheels for your drive train. Also there have been some discussions between or mentors on the true implementations of whether or not using on omni directional drive to control a 4wd mecanum robot will truly be effective or will it mostly a waste of time. So I'm looking for some opinions on what you guys think. do the benefits of a omni directional drive outway the hassle of making one that works well? Currently our programmers have a basic omni directional drive set up, and three methods of re calibrating the gyro during competition.
