But imagine trying to go up the bridge with mechanums. Near the end of a game, battery voltages usually prevent strafing form being all that great. I know from experience that at the end of a match our strafing capabilities would just be reduced to terrible sideways turning capabilities.

If it was hard to strafe on level ground with mechanums during end game last year, imagine strafing up a 17 degree incline with an EXTREMELY low coefficient of friction.
