We said the same thing about wide bodies and Einstein in 2009 and 11 out of 12 robots were widebody that year.

Just because the game where mechanum makes sense hasn't happened yet doesn't mean there will never be one. It's a simple design trade that you can do when determining your team's strategy. Just because you can make something does't mean you should if you look at the big picture.
