Re: Mecanum or 6WD

It would be helpful if you could explain some of your assumptions:

Why do you assume Mecanum slower? Atleast, it isn't slower in forward and reverse.

Also, why would "throwing tubes" to the center give the advantage to mecanum? Assuming that you would go pick them up again, which is what I think you mean, how is it quicker?

To answer your question, a dropped center 6wd can turn with 0 turn radius.

To those above, can you cite a rule that says you can only use four motors?
