This makes sense.

Our force we apply with the motors I feel cancels out the slip of the rollers, leaving still static friction with the carpet. Which makes us just as good as tank if they have the same CoF.
Given a tank drive bot with the exact same tread material on its wheels as are on the rollers of a mecanum bot, said tank drive bot would have better traction than the mec bot (assuming equal weight of both bots). The reason for this is explained here.
