See the problem with including all data?

Of the teams that completed 7 cycles DURING THE COMPETITION SEASON not a single one of them was mecanum wheeled.

Why is this? If they are touted as more mobile why were these "inferior" drivetrains able to accomplish something that they were not?

What did 2052 do after the season to be able to accomplish 7 cycles? Why did they not accomplish it during the season?
I don't think you can really compare off season professional sports games to off season FRC competitions. For example, in NFL preseason games teams avoid playing their starters and when they are on the field they don't always play at 100% to avoid risking injury. In FRC off season events teams compete with one robot and they usually give it their all since injury/damage is not nearly as big a concern. Off season FRC events can be just as competitive as events that are "for real", so I don't think you should ignore the data.
