There is a non-trivial value in having a spybot (re: [G7-E-ii]) which never crosses a defense barrier. If high goal accuracy of such a bot were high, I'd pick it as a first pick. But only if accuracy was high (and intake was 'touch it/own it' philosophy). I'd even go lower the drawbridge or open the door for such a bot if that was the predetermined match flow.
Mecanum - the biggest issue will be making sure the tabs don't get bent while crossing any of the platforms. It may be a good year to spend some weight on the Mecanum HD's from AM if you find the aluminum tabs bend or fatigue.
