The decision to use mecanum wheels is a strategy-based one... if you plan to play a heavy, pushing defense, mecanum is probably the wrong choice, as the diagonal wheels are not so great at traction. If you plan to play a swift and extremely maneuverable offense, then mecanum may be the choice for you. Mecanum wheels are also larger than many plain plaction wheels, which may assist you when climbing the bump. The size can also push your CG up, depending on where you fasten the wheel centers.
