Maybe that's because it's not as good - the VAST majority of the best teams in FIRST don't use mecanum, and it's not because they're stupid.

Mecanum is unequivocally more maneuverable than 6wd,

Is it? Honestly? I think 6wd maneuverability is quite underrated - there's a reason there's literally never been a mecanum on Einstein.

I encourage you to build a mecanum bot and push against a 6wd with it. I think you'll be surprised at how hard it is to actually get the mecanum to skid.

We've pushed plenty of mecanum bots no problem (and yes, the rollers spin)
