If i were on the other team, I would be stealing those tubes that are "in the open".
As per speed, in the forward direction, mecanums, (for the most part) act as any other wheel with lower traction would. Therefore, if it were geared the same way and the wheels are the same size, and your wheels do not slip on acceleration, a 6wd, 8wd and mecanum drive will be the same speed forwards and back.
