When the Blue Alliance comes back up, watch matches with team 40 in 2006. They had a mecanum drive with a drop down "traction plate" to stay in place when they wanted to. When they were on the mecanum wheels, they got pushed all over the field, when the traction plate was down, teams rammed them until their angle was off and with the mecanum wheels they couldn't fight back for their initial position.
Mecanum wheels have strengths that traditional skid steer drives do not. Pushing is not one of them.
