That's awesome! I think the year we considered it was "Aim High" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aim_High https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aim_High) or one of the adjacent years. We used our previous year's robot as a test bed and found regular wheels could too easily push our Mecanum wheel robot out of the way / knock it off balance. Do you remember which competition you used the wheels? What did you end up using for a driver control layout?
- Ethcad 8y agoSame problem we had this year (Power Up). We built two drive bases, and when we tried the Mecanum one against our 2017 robot, it just got pushed right out of the way. No friction.
