Yep, makes sense.
The top half of page 4 makes sense. I get lost on the bold section:

This would imply that a mecanum wheel creates MORE force than the same size regular wheel. You could even put a regular wheel in contact with the mecanum wheel but at a 45 degree angle to increase the amount of torque. Since they are the same diameter wheel you get more torque at the same angular speed which equals more power.

What is the "this" being referenced? Are you proposing that this statement is true or false?
