I just wanted to say that unless you've tested this, it's all just hypothetical.
In 2010, my team used mecanums, and that ramp was a much greater angle than those seen on this year's field. We did not have any issues going up and over.

Don't entirely rely on other people's opinions, make your own judgements based on your experience and testing!

(I will forever have a love for mecanum, but I might be biased since my coffee table is mecanum drive )
