Absolutely, this is a main benefit of mecanum drive. It still doesn't mean it's a quicker way to get from point A to all possible points B.

It won't slip, but a similar well-balanced 6wd will still turn more quickly (assuming we are limited by traction) by virtue of a narrower effective wheelbase.
