Glad to see that those wheels worked out for you guys. I enjoyed watching Tatsu bending our mill on every possible axis to get those mecanums cut properly :p Its a bummer you won't be at SVR, but I look forward to seeing your bot in action at Davis. Looks great, can't wait to see the rest of it!

Wow. That's stunning, I wouldn't ever want to do something like that on a manual machine. You guys did a great job. Sure looks like it was CNC'ed.

How long did it take?

looks yummy. well after much of my criticism and speculation if it would be pulled off, I'm glad you guys went for what you wanted to do and actually put it together. I'll be at Davis and I'll get to see how well it works.

There called Mecanum wheels, they allow for any direction of movement without turning the bot. 868 used them last year.

That does look like a high CG but I'm sure you already know that, and are probably working on it.
