When building a mecanum drive, it can be helpful to create some type of suspension so that each wheel has the same weight above it. It can be as simple as having the pair of back wheels on a pivot.

Remember, driver practice is really important.

Also, be careful of any bumps on the field. When aligning with the pyramid this year, the little 1/2" bump in the floor caught our mecanum wheels, and made it really hard to line up.

Finally, realize that there are many teams that will immediately disregard your robot in alliance selections. While I don't agree that all mecanum robots are bad, many teams have this opinion, and just won't choose a mecanum robot for eliminations.
