Completely true. What a mecanum driver can't realistically do is initiate a pushing match Sure you can effectively annoy a 6-wheel drive robot, but you can't really move them much.

We used Mecanums in 2011 (good) and 2012 (not so good on the bridge) and this year we're trying a 6-wheel WCD, certainly pros and cons to both as has been addressed many times over.
