In the offseason for the past two years we've done extensive testing of mecanum drives. We have never run one in competition because we were worried about defence, however we are seriously considering them for this game.

Seeing as you specifically asked about autonomous, I'll comment on that. In comparison to our competition robots which have been 6 wheel tank with traction wheels, we were able to have our mecanum robots drive just as straight, stop just as accurately, and turn just as accurately. We were able to even do some precision strafing.
