Is anybody else anticipating robots getting stuck and/or having a hard time in the lanes (including leaving the lanes around the towers)?

If you have a defense bot preventing you from zipping right out of the lane and past the tower, you want to be able to go around the tower as fast as possible to get by that robot -- or be able to just manhandle it out of the way.

I'm seeing defensive bottlenecks as very possible in this area of the field, but it still doesn't inform the decision between 6WD or mecanum, because each has a 'solution' to the problem.
