In my experience, a good mecanum drive tikes time to perfect, not nearly as much time as swerve though. My team used them for the first time in 2013, we ended up having to re balance our wheels and straighten them out and fix programing on several occasions. In the end we did have very very good but un traditional mecanum drive (un traditional on the control end). At our regional we saw some good examples of bad mecanum drives where they were basically tank drive, they could go forward, reverse, and turn but couldn't strafe to save them.
