Which is unfortunate, because I don't think people were actually paying attention.

There's the link again, and watch the one robot with mecanum wheels play to its strengths.

Does this one video mean mecanums are definitively better or worse? No, but this mecanum drivetrain did its job in this particular match.

Count the balls scored for the winning alliance - 3 in autonomous, and 3 in teleop. I would challenge a LOT of teams to hold an alliance of 1114 and 2056 to 3 balls scored in teleop, and the little blue mecanum bot was a big reason why that happend.
