My question is this: Has anyone seen a robot effectively use its holonomic drivetrain to an advantage? If so do you have any videos or pictures? What drive system did they use? ie mechanum, omniwheel, swivel, kiwi And to the teams which decided to use such drive train systems, why did you choose to use them, other than the engineering experience and "cool" factor?
please note that this post is not intended to be offensive to any teams which have used such drive trains. I am interested in these drive trains myself, and I was wondering what was some of the thinking behind using these drives in this years games.

No offense taken here as we built an omni-wheel system this year looking for manuverability knowing that we may pay the price with defense and ramp climbing.
We play this weekend at LSR, so the proof will be there for us and then at Atlanta. I'd like to dialogue with any all teams using a holonomic drive this year as we do our own assesment. Eventually, we'd like to crab
