Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.

As a team that went with mecanum this year (as much as I did not want to) I can say that it was a factor in teams selecting us. At TVR we had teams tell us they would pick us if we switched to traction wheels. I believe we had a great bot design for the game but the mecanum just made us a bot that could get pushed all over ( esp by 2791). Needless to say we have switched them out for offseason events, Im looking forward to seeing the results.
