A properly built Mecanum system is one of the most impressive drive systems out there. That being said, it has absolutely no pushing power. If your team rates maneuverability over brute strength, Mecanum is the way to go. However, a large majority of teams don't utilize a Mecanum's trues strength: Translating and rotating at the same time. It takes a skilled programmer and a very aware driver to really use a Mecanum system to full effect.
