If a mecanum robot is in the top 8 and picking, either they are that good or they got a good schedule. If they are consistently in the top 8, they're that good. Therefore, automatically declining them--to me at least--is a really bad move unless the team's strategy does not mesh well with my team's strategy. (OR if they're playing scorched-earth and I know about it, in which case, I may decide to accept anyways...)

2) Are the same penalties made towards teams with:
a)4WD Omni
b)Slide/H Drive
c)Kiwi Drive
I'll take 'em based on performance. Again, it's not the type of drive you have, it's how you use it.
