Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.
It honestly depends on if the team knows the limitations (reduced pushing capability, vulnerability in open spaces,) of their drivetrain, and if they use it effectively. I'd have no problem picking a team with a mecanum drive so long as they effectively take advantage of their drivetrain and play smart with it.
Unless we're playing a full contact game like Aerial Assist. I would not pick a team that has a pure mecanum drive for a game like this. IMHO, drives with traction wheels were king, even octocanum/butterfly.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
