We have two chassis this year; one is our back-up and is a traditional build we have created in past seasons. We call the back up our "glitch drive"- in honor of our first robot that had the same omni-wheel chassis. The second one is something we have never tried before: a mecanum chassis.
The new chassis, is a mecanum drive prototype undergoing beta testing. One of the advantatges of mecanum drive chassis is the manueverability, which allows us to straff, or move laterally, as well as be omni-directional. We are still working out the kinks in programming and are very close. We decided to make both because there are pros/cons to both and we are unsure which path will give us a greater edge in the competition.
