We also had to be purely defensive in one competition and managed to place high because our mecanum drive allowed us to out-maneuver our opponents and get in front of them to block their shots.
Last year we used Andymark mecanum and this year we were looking at the vex pro mecanums, and a couple of our main mentors were worried about them cracking because they are plastic. Did you have anything that looked like it was about to crack or anything like that?
