Not if you align to the pegs while approaching them, and not after you hit them.
Many people around here seem to be saying "oh, oh, a mecanum is sooo much more maneuverable, omg" when a well-driven 6wd can do everything except strafe, and is easier to build since everything comes in the KOP (and slightly easier to program, although the WPIlib has mecanum code for you)
