I don't think so.

1 finger will not push a 150-lb mecanum drive. Or a 150-lb 4wd. MAYBE a 150-lb omni-drive (with only omni wheels) in the sideways direction can be pushed with one finger.

It's more accurate to say that mecanums have lower pushing resistance and lower pushing power than X drive (where X is some other specific drive type).

Also, I've seen mecanums play effective defense. Effective defense is just as much getting in the way as it is ram and shove someone else around.
