It depends on how you build it. If you make a typical swerve with small wheels, then have fun going through the tunnel. But if you use larger wheels and put them directly in the corner of your robot without any frame to inhibit contact between the wheels and bumps, then I would say that you have a very good chance of getting over the bumps.
Mecanum would seem like a very poor choice this year, especially with such a small area to get through the tunnel. But some will do it and someone will do a great job with it. There always is at least one good team with mecanum!
