The balls would get to the bumpers, then get funneled along the bumpers with the mecanums. Most teams used larger mecanums this year, but I know that at least a few teams used very small mecanums. It's possible to bore out the hubs on those and use several mecanums instead of just 2, but I wanted to avoid making custom modifications as much as possible.
