This shows the mecanum advantage not only on the regular field, but on the bump as well. And when in the beginning of the season, no one was sure if they would even be able to get up the bump with mecanums, this just shows that it can and more.

Unless your wheel base is less than 12", your going to have a hard time moving around on that bump with any other sort of drive. And even if it is that small, it will be time consuming and difficult to go off the bump in any other spot than where you started.

Just think of it like a fight. Who ever has the high ground has the advantage. And if we have a way to keep you off the top, we have the advantage.

I was just wondering why you would want to do this, other than trying to keep people off of the bump?

And with your mecanums that could prove very difficult.
