Re: Mecanum vs. Tank Drive?

The biggest downside by far to mecanum drives are that they can and will get pushed by everyone. In a game like Steamworks where there's an open field which most robots will regularly have to traverse, and where teams without functioning devices have nothing to do other than play defense, that one downside overshadows any and all minor advantages that mecanum drives have.
