Those teams would have been competitive because of what was on top of their drivetrain, not what the wheels were. 357 by all means is the mecanum expert, but they aren't as strong in other aspects of their robots each year as 2826 or 2337 are.

I can easily bet that if 111, 1114, 217, 148, or 254 used macanums they would still be highly competitive as usual.
