If this is a serious statement I would really reconsider. When moving around a mecanum wheels on anything but carpet at a quick pace you run into one of two issues
1) If it is slicker then carpet you get sliding and some minor issues with veering off to one side
2) Something rougher then carpet will damage the wheels quickly since they constantly are hitting it at an angle

(also when you push around unpowered mecanums they make a lot of noise)
