This is a very cramped field, and the goal is pretty small. It would be useful for lining up because theres not too much room y turns and whatnot to get your non-holonomic robot 'a few inches over but in the same orientation'. It would be bad for traversing obstacles, but the team could have a mechanism for opening sally port/drawbridge or be short. Playing defense with mecanum is possible. You can still hit an opponent while shooting, you can still get in people's ways; you won't win pushing matches, but everything else you can be fine at.
