A double team can easily force a blown engine = great defense.
Hmmm... not sure where you heard that.

During quarter final match 1 we took a hit that caused some electrical problems in the robot. Our frantic troubleshooting caused other problems and we were never fully functional the rest of the tournament. It was a struggle to get a robot out on the field after each tough match which followed. It seemed everything that could go wrong with the robot went wrong... except the V6. There was no "blown engine"... just one that came out of gear due to a hard hit in the last match.

Re: Mecanum Defense

If the rack is defended properly by a 4/6/8 wheel drive robot, it is just as good if not better than the macanum drives. It all depends on how you try to defend.
