Although they are the perfect team to cite when discussing the potential that mecanum drives have. That potential can't be unlocked in a single season however.
The reason 2052 is so good at mecanum is black magic*. They do things with mecanum drivetrains that I think only they're capable of. Also, 2013 was more conducive to a mecanum drive because you could set picks for yourself by driving under the pyramid. This year, you're forced to push through defense, or go all the way around the Airship.
*and endless tweaks, refinements and improvements throughout the years, tons of drive practice, and great driving tactics/strategy.
