I don't see a problem with being pushed. It doesn't exactly slide freely; you're still pushing against the drive motors on at least two sides, if not three. Also, the omnidirectional nature allows you to push against another robot no mater which side is being pushed against. Traction is the biggest issue in pushing. We aren't too worried about being over-powered. We aren't pulling goals, our basket empties very quickly, and we are incredibly maneuverable, so we should be able to slide out of any sticky situations.
