If your team is completely unfamiliar with how a mecanum system(or for that matter any other drive system) works then I would highly suggest that you do not try it during the build season.
A good drivetrain is (usually) paramount to having success during the season, and it becomes that much more difficult if you need to learn that drive system during the build season.
I would also echo EricHs' warning. Don't lock yourself into a drivetrain (or any other robot part) until you understand the challange given at kickoff. To do so could possibly lock yourselves into a design that may not work.
