The issue with mecanum drives at the high level of play is you are pretty much screwed against a decent defender. The idea of strafing out of the way, or dancing around a team that is actually playing smart defense (which is not what most average teams play in average qualifying matches) is just silly.

If you're the number two scorer on the alliance, it's not a hindrance (or if you're not playinh capable defense), but don't plan on being the top scorer.
