Our team is planning on using a combination of Omni, mecanum, and traction (5 inch) on our chassis in that order. What are the cons of using 3 different types of wheels. We are also consider using all Omni on one side and all mecanum on the other. What are the cons for that? Thx.

Why would you do that? It would cause both sides to move at different speeds, which is pretty bad…

Oh lol I see what you meant, not literally side. Well, I’d use all of one type because if you mix and match them things get weird and sort of pointless

LOL! Xenon got me confused initially too. This was pretty weird to be honest. Moreover, that no side option is quite intriguing.

I don’t recommend using traction wheels or entirely omnis. Larger wheels will reduce your torque and make you easier to push. In that same vein, omnis make you absurdly easy to pushed sideways. I would recommend either a 6 wheel drive with locked omnis or a 4 wheel drive with mechanums. Of course, t…

No you had it right I mean side

Yeah… That’ll make it really hard to drive. I would not attempt it. Plus the 5” wheels will put your chasis on a pivot.

wHat? That would be pretty bad tbh, I see no advantages to doing this.

You can strafe, center park well, and have good turns this is a OP strat. I would also mount a dc that only shoots from back side so no one can play defense

let me make sure I understand. do you mean having the left side of the drive omnis, and the right side of the drive mecanums?

Yes or having Omni in front(small ones), mecanum in middle, 5 inch traction in back on both sides
