One more thing about Mechanum wheels vs. the field.

The key is not carpet, which is plastic, and will turn your Mechanum wheel robot into a "spin my noisy wheels" robot. In addition, if you do have any intention on balancing, Mechanum wheels may have a problem with that as well.

I suggest that you and your team thinks a little more about it, runs some tests (if possible) about mechanum wheels on the field, and carries spare 8 inch wheels to competition, so if your wheels break/are ineffective, you will be able to switch them out.
