Hi, While creating the designs for our drivetrain/chassis, we can’t decide between using a holonomic x drive with Omni wheels or mecanum drive. We were considering using an x drive but the building part was easy but the coding part looks pretty complicated. For the mecanum drive, we haven’t really …

600rpm 2" mecanum sounds pretty good

NO. First, 600rpm on a 2" drive is too much, it is equal to 300 on 4". Why do u need those speeds on a small field but ur bot couldn’t even accelerate to its highest speed. Second, a mecanum drive requires more torque than a normal tank drive. Third, a lot of people said that 2" mecanum wheels suck,…

600 rpm on 2" wheels would actually be pretty ok for a light bot, not much faster than 280 on 4" which is perfectly acceptable. But as far as I’ve heard the 2" mecanum wheels are not a viable choice for a drive. something about the wheel rims digging into the tiles.

The vrc wheel selection is a little wack Ill give it a test though because i really like the idea [Screenshot_20220705-010800_Samsung Notes] The chart i use for drive speeds If theres a better resource hook me up

This information seems inaccurate. 200rpm X drive is slightly faster than 280rpm.

What chassis base should we use for our wheels

I believe it is the gear ratio of the drive
