This is our (461) second year in a row that we are using mecanum; i don't know a whole lot about it, but i do know that:
Much better maneuverability
Less pushing force
Harder to program/longer
Problems can occur with a direct drive setup and thoughbox nanos, because it pushes the bearings with a force and direction they're not designed to take.
But all in all, if you're programmers and drivers are up for it, it is a great choice
