I would argue that mecanum wheels are actualy slower and less agile than ,for instance, a 6wd. Mecanum wheels are usualy heavier than standard traction wheels making it slower to accerlate. And being that mecanum wheels have rollers and no real hard pushing point, the robots momentum would dicide how quick it can stop/change direction(basic agility).
When was the last time you saw a mecanum robot going 18ft/s(?), and then stop in less than 5ft?
