Re: Mecanum or 6WD
I think good driving will rule at offense. Mecanum will certainly have advantages, but for a well-driven 6WD robot there will likely not be much backing off, turning, advancing, backing off...any more than mecanum will be strafe left, strafe back to the right, back to the left,... It will be more like get into approximate position and pivot left or right in place. We saw this with more than a few robots in 2007. In fact we saw a number of robots better at approaching the rack from other than a 90 degree angle.
