Though I think mecanum is a little underrated, 868's drivetrain / shooting dominated Boilermaker. |
Great defense there, I would say that 2040 probably took away 2 cycles from 868, not an easy task. I didn't really see much driving that was unique to mec's though. I may have missed it so if someone could please point it out that would be great but it looked like most of the maneuvers they performed would have been just as easy with 6W or 8W skid. They may have used sideways pushing abilities while in contact with 868 that I could just not see. Could someone clarify if 2040 used any attributes unique to mec's to their advantage here?
