Depends what you mean by beat. A pushing match? Probably so. A test in maneuverability? I'd disagree with that. If your driver knows how to truly utilize the strengths of the mecanum drive, then you can juke 6 wheel drive robots all day long.

Picking one of them revolves entirely upon your team's strategy for this year's game.
