Also, a mecanum robot can do VERY well against another mecanum robot in defense. This occured in Finals 1-1 at CalGames, where our driver pushed 1323 quite a large distance. Ill try to find a video and come back with it.

I actually have the webcast on my computer and remember the match quite well. We backed up into you guys and then went forward to grab another tube. The other instance was when we were getting pushed against 254. I don't remember/see getting pushed during the comp by mecanums.

During the entire event, we were able to push teams with ease. One of the matches we pushed our alliance partner 10ft or so on accident.
