Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.

I think it really comes down to how big your wheels are. In 2013 we bought big 8" diameter, 2" width wheels and were actually one of the better pushing robots out there (didn't get picked, but that was mainly because our shooter was awful). In contrast, we used 6" diameter, 1" width wheels in 2010 and got pushed all over the place.
