But imagine trying to go up the bridge with mechanums. Near the end of a game, battery voltages usually prevent strafing form being all that great. I know from experience that at the end of a match our strafing capabilities would just be reduced to terrible sideways turning capabilities.

If it was hard to strafe on level ground with mechanums during end game last year, imagine strafing up a 17 degree incline with an EXTREMELY low coefficient of friction.

That's assuming your the first one on the bridge and you'll have room.

There would only be room if that robot was very narrow. After bumpers a fully sized robot only can turn maybe a few degrees, certainly less than the room needed to rotate.
