I'm puzzling over what your intended implication is.

Here's what I think you are implying:

It is harder to push a mecanum robot sideways when said robot is trying to resist the push by attempting to push back than it would be if said robot simply had its wheels (wheels, not rollers) physically locked.

Have I correctly inferred your implication, or have I misunderstood?
