I heard of some times having trouble getting over the bump with regular mecanum wheel, since their robot slipped because the wheels didn't have enough traction.. so If it is what they did then it's a great idea, though even one wheel will be enough to help the mecanum climb over the ramp.
I would love to see a team "Reforging" a mecanum wheel and putting wedgetop tread on the small wheels

Look at the center support struts on each side of the bearings. You can see that the middle two are higher than the end two. The middle two wheels are raised.
Honestly though, having a cave would be one of the greatest places to build a robot. There's already lack of light and lots of floor space! Well, if you have a good cave sponsor, that is. - Bryce Clegg [more]
