He said that "locking the rollers on a mecanum drive does not increase forward traction." I took that to mean, "does not increase forward traction c.f. a mecanum drive with un-locked rollers," which is not true for the reasons I outlined; locking the rollers gives you an immediate traction boost by a factor of sqrt(2).
