Watch 2337 and 2619 duke it out. 2337 had 8" mecanums and custom gear boxes. 2619 had 4 wheel tank drive with a wide bot. 2619 was the red alliance's main scoring robot and 2337 shut them down until the end game.

The 2337 driver played excellent position defiense, positioning between 2619 and the bump and blocking the line to the goal. But watching the actual maneuvering, I see no maneuvers that any reasonable skid steer chassis couldn't do. The only intentional "strafe" move sideways I see is at the end when they position for the hang. The driver skill was key to this defense, not the drive base.
