Not often, but when it counts... (Really, the relative inefficiency inherent to mecanums is what ruled it out for me this year; we favored straight-line speed without using so many of the high-powered motors.)
But frankly, you could put square wheels on this thing and it'd still look boss. I look forward to seeing the whole thing!
