What if instead of having a straight gear reduction, a team were to use a direct drive shifting transmission such as the Vex Pro ball shifter on each Mecanum wheel with a Cim and Mini-Cim as the input to each wheel? And you took that against a 6WD drivetrain with the three CIM Vex Pro Shifting transmission per side?

Does that muddy the water a bit?
What would lead you to believe that it would muddy the water? Can you provide reasons why, in your estimation, the mecanum drive implementation you're suggesting here would fare better against the 6WD robot you're describing than a more typical mecanum drive?

Do the math and you'll have your answer. This stuff is pretty cut and dry.
