Once TBA comes back up, look at 1086 & 384 at VCU in 2007. I'm not so sure about the "drives circles around" claim, but they were very quick and agile. The drivers performed with such tenacity that any errors were quickly resolved by trying again. They were in the 13-14fps (free speed) range.

384 also used their Mecanum to play effectively during 2008 at VCU and in Atlanta. 1086 had the same drive train (and made it to Champ. elims), but 384 made it to the division finals (only to be trumped by the 1114/217/148 power house).

Which reminds me: Tumbleweed DID run circles around standard 6WD skid. However, 148 focused so well on coaxial crab design that year, we shouldn't have expected anything less.
