BEFORE you commit to doing the mechanum drive, be sure you know what will happen and have a backup plan. We almost did it, but we decided that our design, which is closer to 190's than 357's, did not meet our requirements, so we are currently getting ready (very slowly) to try the next stage of design. The problems observed both on ours and 357's: a) lack of pushing power, and b) slow sideways motion. Both problems may be fixed in later editions and/or by other teams. So, test now, and if you decide to do it, good luck!
