Mecanum drive - Chief Delphi

Ah, this sounds like a sitcom whose pilot I should write and send to NBC - "Life With Lavery". There's a lot of eating, several practical jokes, and lots of bad hair. - Amanda Morrison [more]

Half?? Wow, you must have been watching some bots with pretty beat-up wheels.

Quality mecanum wheels will have nearly equal forward and strafe speed, but they are very expensive. If they get hit and damaged so that the rollers don't spin freely under load, you'll start to see degradation in sideways speed.
