1102 who I've returned to working with this year used mechanum in 2014, seeded 3rd at their regional that year. The thing that held them back from winning their event that year was not their drive train I assure you.

I'm going to be doing some 6" 6WD 4 motor tank vs 6" 4 motor mechanum push tests this weekend. I hope I can bring back some useful information to settle this debate in some way.
