Well, seeing as how there is built in libraries to drive a mecanum robot, I don't think that will be a problem.

Also, teams have 6 weeks to build and program their robot. (Okay, the programming is usually the last week or so...) I have confidence that 99% of the teams attempting mecanum, will be able to move.
