Neither of us have built mecanum drive before and I was wondering if any teams who have could lend some insight from their experience.

Thanks in advance.

If you know who's driving your robot, ask them what they want. It's not so much about what makes sense for everyone on the team, it's about what the driver thinks is easiest.
