The bot is full size & weight and with the shooter attached will be 54"" tall or so, the camera angle is deceiving. And we have had experiences contrary to the typical "mecanum gets pushed around" opinions on CD. Typically we just go around defensive bots or fake them out just enough to catch them on the corner and spin them around. Last year we had much the same drive train and had a bit of fun playing with 6-wheeled defenders.

I suppose we'll encounter better defense in regional finals or in St Louis but that is a nice problem to have (means you made it that far). Plus we can pull balls in from all 4 sides, hard to defend against us if there are 2 or more balls on the floor!
