I guess we differ in opinion there. I think that mecanum will absolutely not work just as well as swerve. It might suit the time constraints better, but concerns of center of gravity, and all four wheel needing to touch the floor at all times makes mecanum very unsuited for this game. I think mecanum does offer plenty of advantages over tank drive this year that are usually made moot by other mecanum drawbacks.
