COTS Mecanum Wheels

[kmcclary]

We're searching for a source of 6-8" COTS mecanum wheels (preferably
8"...). Every source we've found so far is either asking literally
thousands of dollars per wheel and/or are not suitable for this contest.

URL pointers, prices, and/or evaluation feedback of COTS mecanum
wheels you've tried would all be deeply appreciated.

Also, if we WERE to make a set of them, whose design here would
(in most team's opinion) be the best, and easiest to fabricate?
They're quite a complicated device! We don't want to hinge our
robot delivery on a such a complicated thing unless we're SURE
we could make it work in time!

Thanks!

Try this thread. (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40926&highlight=mecanum+wheels) It's near the bottom.

If you can't get those, then 190, 357, and 330 seem to be the main teams that used or tried mecanums last year. I think at least one has plans, but mecanums are hard to build from scratch.
