Not used mecanum in competition. That doesn't mean they've never used, tested, built a mecanum robot! It's an important distinction.
The best mecanum team this year was IMO 2826, which had an alternating drivetrain. If you go by FRC Top 25, not one team is "pure" mecanum. The best team probably to go pure mecanum was 2337, but I do think they would be just as good with a traction drive.

In other words, regarding tank v. mecanum, correlation does NOT imply causation.

Yes, that's true, but it's not worthless either. I made a thread a few months back called "Video of Mecanum Drive Running Circles Around Traction Drives" asking for some footage. I'm still looking.
