Thanks for that video - it helps show off the best of what Mecanum can offer. I see a lot more strafing and even more 'whip arounds' that proved beneficial.

It seems like there were as many great uses of field elements to dodge defense in addition to the agility. If the pyramids were solid, do you expect you'd have similar results? There are very similar pinch points this year.

Re: Cost of Andymark 6" Mecanum Wheels

But why are you using giant vectored intake wheels on the drivetrain?

I do not think we would have been as effective had the pyramids been solid. A lot of our strategy that year used the 4 corners of the pyramids to set picks for ourselves. We still would have been able to utilize the 180 spins to get out of T-bones and to quickly line up to the feeder.
