Toss in some sideways pushing tests while you're at it, if you have time.
A real A-B test could be run at a scrimmage or off-season event. Make up an alliance with 2-3 butterfly drives vs. a tank drive alliance and do 2-3 matches with the butterflies all mecanum vs all sticky. Although yes, there may need to be some adjustments for the typically lower gearing of the sticky wheels.
