Re: Team 967 Mecanum Drive

Here's a shout out to team 842 for posting their pneumatic / hybrid kicker prototype video early on. We found it to be a cool design and built one of our own. Thanks!

Re: Team 967 Mecanum Drive

Usually, I'm not a fan of Mecanum Drives because I feel that teams don't use them to their full potential.

It looks like you're not one of those teams.

Excellent, I wish you the best.

Not only that, but whoever was driving that bot seemed to have an impressive amount of control over the machine. Well done, remember to practice practice practice!

It looks like the ball goes more than 3 inches into your frame.

True. We have been tinkering with the hardware for the front end to prevent that problem - dribbler wheels (if we can get them to work properly) and/or a physical stop. At any rate, the kicker works pretty well when we position the ball at or near the 3" mark.

We are using a gamepad with two joysticks. One stick controls rotation, and the other controls forward-backward plus strafing motion.
