Right now, I've only programmed Mecanum and 4-wheel skid-steer drive. In the future, I plan to add crab/swerve and holonomic drive to this system.


Right now, the pack contains these items:

• Robot tool that controls all of the robots
• Skid-steer chassis
• Mecanum chassis
• 5 different Mecanum wheels

The Mecanum wheels come in 2 types and 3 sizes, with the smallest only being one type.

Have any comments, suggestions, or uses for this system? Post them, please!

Interesting. I'll take a look later.

Whats the point of them?

Whats the point of them?

To see if Roblox's physics were complex enough to handle Mecanum drive, which it passes with flying colors.

i like throwing the color red a lot.

Would you mind if I update some of your models a bit?

What does the update consist of:
-Replacing scripts with Localscripts for better performance on large games

I'll explain you why:
-Localscripts are running on your computer, not on the server, so they kindly prevent your car from lagging. If you have a place with over 100 scripts (not localscripts) and over 10000 bricks, for instance, then your car will still move like new.

Here's the wiki page:

OP knows what a local script is, and what you said isn't necessarily true.

Physics controlled on the client are replicated to the server at the update rate the client can handle, so you'll end up with some cars going slightly faster than others just because someone's computer happens to be slightly faster than someone else's.

Actually the robot tool is a local script (iirc) so there's no need for any alterations.

When you say client-controlled physics do you mean instances where the moving body is a child of the character? The system uses standard surface motors to drive the wheels, so I don't quite know where this system falls under (client-controlled or server-controlled).

It would be server controlled. BodyMover objects (gyros, velocities, etc.) that are controlled by the client do experience this issue, and it can be a serious problem with games using custom movement systems.
