Mecanum drivetrain

Our team is not gonna use mecanum drive but just wondering are there any good mecanum wheel drivetrains without the wheels being directly powered to the motor?

I suppose if you were to gear each wheel and motor individually that would be an improvement as it would let you drive at a fast but reasonable speed while still being ablebto strafe.

To work properly all four wheels in a Mecanum drivetrain need to be driven. I’ve seen a wonky drivetrain that had two driven wheels at the rear and two omni’s on the front. It wasn’t the best experience.

unless you made a clutch or ratchet you would have to independently power each motor
