Our team's strategy relies on being able to move omnidirectionally, and mecanum wheels weigh quite a bit less than swerve. I think that our robot goes as fast as this game allows. We've built a few scary fast robots(15+ fps) that could cross the whole field in <5 seconds, and when driving those around, we still found that the mecanum wheeled robot driven by an experienced driver could pass by them on the way to the feeder station. We're not trying to get perfection, and we don't plan on even trying to push another robot around. Ideally, we would have swerve, but we can't afford the weight/time to manufacture, so we've compromised. I think that mecanum wheels are a great idea for average teams looking to get a quick/easy omnidirectional drive.
