See this link for a perfectly legal active suspension, fully controlled by sensors on the robot. Follow the link to the youtube video.

As for mechanums, there is always a question as to the loss of power vs manueverability issue. You have to trade it carefully based on how you think the game will play out. There is no straightforward answer. You need to decide what the strategy your team wants to execute is and whether or not that system fits into your strategy. This is why in the first part of build season should set criteria your robot needs before you build anything figure out how to play the game to win and develop a strategy before you build your robot and these decisions become easy now that you can buy mechanum and swerve as COTS.
