Realize that all robots attending the state championship must be bagged between their final event and the championship, minus a short unbag perior similar to a district championship. The event uses a real field with the FMS, an FTA, and all the workings of a standard FIRST event. It also includes only the best teams in the state, which makes it more competitive than the "real events" that happen in the state.
I'm curious as to how it isn't a "real event."
I would argue that this is an effect of the inherent bias against mecanums by all of the teams that regularly make it to Einstein more than evidence that robots with mecanum wheels are inherently worse than traditional tank drive robots.

It's an off season event. I treat it like all other off season events. Just like post/pre season performance doesn't factor into stats in sports.
Or, put a really simple way, if it's not an official event it's not real, it's just for play.
