Mecanum Wheels

[Morgan B]

I have searched and searched for some specific information on Mecanum wheels. This is not for a FIRST team, but for a class I'm taking. (If any of you are familiar with Square One, that's the program its through. To read more: http://www.squareonenetwork.org/inno...ign-challenge/ ) And we are actually doing this research and testing for our robotics team in the future. Kill two birds with one stone.


So back to the information we need:

What is the suggested RPM for Mecanum wheels?

What motor has had the best outcome?

Which is best for motor reduction? (ex: gearbox, chain, belt, etc)

Any other helpful tips about building with mecanum wheels?

P.S. We are really only building a chassis to mount to the bottom of the jeep, and everything is autonomous.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
