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 thing I would say about that video is that if you notice, the mecanum bot really didn't use it's crab capabilities. It more game down to the the sheer pushing power and speed it had over the other robot as oppose to sheer out maneuvering. It didn't exactly "run circles" around the other bot; it slammed into it.
