Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.
Yes, if you have mecanum wheels it will lower you on my picklist. Especially for our third pick robot we try to avoid teams with mecanums because its very hard to play effective defense with mecanums. It is possible I have seen it done but most of the times these teams have a solid offensive strategy too meaning we wouldn't want them to play defense to begin with as we need them to score.
We have picked/accepted invitations from teams with mecanums more notably this year we allied twice with 58 and once with 126 both were very effective robots on the field with mecanums. If there were identical robots to them just with tank drives I would have rather gone with the tank drive.
You might call it "penalizing" but I see it as a weakness if the other alliance can push you around as much as they please.
