There are teams that will laugh at Mecanum regardless of the game. Some pull it off with the right implementation, but I don't think you should say you're planning on using Mecanum for next year.

If it's for educational purposes, sure, we'll help you out...

I'm not just saying, just sayin'
He just wants to do it for educational purposes from what I can see. There was no actual decision made. We were considering experimenting with several different drive systems. Swerve being one of them. I don't know why he has not come up and asked me for help... -__-;; But I will talk to him tomorrow.

By the way, he has no power what so ever to make such drastic decisions. Even I do not have such powers. I can convince, but not mandate what drive we should use.
