My personal opinion on mecanum wheels is based on a few things.
1. Minimum of four motors used for omnidirectional movement. THAT IS AMAZING. The only drive train I have seen that gets the same amount of movement as mecanum with less motors is something like the Tri-Lambda drive base.
2. Between the omni directional movement and rotation if designed properly mecanum (as well as swerve) has the best pathing options. You can be at the orientation you need to be when you get there which saves time and this years game is all about dat resource management though.
3. This is kind of a double edged sword you got going on but the performance on a mecanum is noticeably better in regards to responsiveness when you add weight to it in the right spot. This means through the match as you get riskier and riskier stacks that are taller and taller the drive base passively adjusts for that.
