I believe we competed with you guys last year using a mecanum drive and anyone who saw it wouldn't say that it lacked for either acceleration or speed. If I remember correctly you guys do some pretty extensive scouting that involves taking pictures of every robot at competition I encourage you to look us up, also team 2052 from our area produced another very effective mecanum last year.

We actually will probably be going with a similar set up this year. If you want some help with anything feel free to PM me and we can probably provide you with some of the info you need.
