Mechanum Wheel Orientation : Rollers Reversed for Correct Movement

This video shows what happens when your omni-directional wheels are NOT correctly installed. The bot car is driven in a certain direction by the SUM of the vector forces from each of the 4 wheels' treads. Each wheel has its own motor and goes forward or reverse at variable speeds which we wrote into the code. If the wheels are incorrect, with all treads going in the SAME direction, then the bot car will NOT go correctly; it will not go laterally and it will not spin correctly. We show that reversing the tread pattern is correct and gives a good result.
