Mecanum or 6WD
So my team has had a big debate between Mecanum and 6WD. 6WD is ideal for transporting tubes from one side of the field to the other because of the potential speed, while Mecanum is ideal for placing tubes on the scoring grid due to the lateral movement. We are allowed to "throw" the tubes to the center. This ability supports Mecanum because it shortens the distance of travel. However, this will cause an increase in robot to robot contact to which mecanum wheels are not well equipped for due to low traction. We have heard a lot of hype about the 6WD on the forums.
Questions:
6WD or Mecanum? Which do you prefer and why?
What is the turn radius of 6WD?
Do you predict the game to be high contact or not? Why?
