Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.

in my own personal opinion as the driver and alliance selector, I avoid mecanum wheeled robots all together. I don't see the use for them. They are too easy to block and push around. and with no real advantage, I don't see our team using them any where in the near or distant future.
we were the number one seed at an event this year and the pick list was given to me with a tie for my first pick, I went over to both teams discussed examined there robot ext. and when it came to picking the main reason I picked the team I did was they had hi grips while the other had mecanums.
it turned out that in the next event they had swapped there wheels out for hi-grips and were able to play more aggressively on the field. just my opinion.
