From what I've seen in competition the difference between a bad an good mecanum drive train largely has to do with gearing. Placement locations of the wheels, wiring work, and programming. I've never seen a team in person that didn't at least mount the wheels correctly to their chassis (not to say there aren't teams that have made this error, but it's not something I commonly see).
