Now is the perfect time to build a mecanum drivetrain. Your experience may differ, but I couldn't understand mecanum's bad reputation until I built my own version and saw firsthand how the drivetrain's actual behavior differed from the way I'd imagined the system would behave. If you get it done in the next 4 months, you'll be able to carry all of your "lessons learned" into the 2014 build season.
