Is that what you meant, Tyler? They're more prone to slipping in a pushing match or hard acceleration? But most of the time, if you're careful, they won't slip?

Or did you mean they slip all the time, which completely destroys the value/quality of the ticks that your encoder returns, and therefore how many times a mecanum wheel turns cannot directly be translated into distance?
