Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.
I agree that a team needs to build their robot for a strategy. In recent years, the ability to strafe hasn't been high on my priority list.
But if a low resource team were to come to me, and tell me that they must have a holonomic drivetrain for their strategy, and they wanted a recommendation, I would recommend mecanum 9 / 10 times.
In my experience, mecanum drive trains are simple to implement, can be robust with just a gyro for field centric control, and when all else fails you can swap out 4 wheel chair wheels.
I agree though, strategy trumps drivetrain.
