Mecanum drivetrain prototype
By Maplerobot
The mecanum drive was the first ever drive we built with the vex parts. First, we created a simple tank drive but after that we added different sensors and the mecanum wheels. The sensors we added were the optical sensor, the gps sensor, and the rotation sensor. The mecanum drive is not our actual robot and is only used to testing. For example, right now we are testing the gps sensor for the vex autonomous skills challenge. Our drivers also practice with the mecanum drive.
