I wish i had footage to back this up, but my team's bot this year was mecanum. we were the fastest bot that showed up to BMR. if our manipulator had worked better, we'd made eliminations (234 told us that had their alliance mate not disagreed, they would have picked us for a 3rd defense bot).
it also had no problems during the season either other than a spare practice gearbox having a defective gear from the factory (one stolen from a 2009 KOP gearbox fixed it).
whatever on this topic... people use what people use...

Your example of a noteworthy mecanum drive is one that didn't even make the elimination rounds at a 41 team event?
