is that a new mecanum wheel design i see closest to us on the table, if so, tell me more!

[Andy Baker]

Yes, that is the new 6" Mecanum style wheel from AndyMark, with a hub attached to it.

It consists of 2 steel plates (0.04" thick) welded together, with 16 rollers. The estimated load of a 4 wheel system is about 250 lbs. The rollers will be black, non-marking SBR rubber

Cost will be $275 for a set of 4 wheels, or $70 for one. The same pair of wheel plates can be assembled into a right or left-handed wheel. They are designed to be ambidextrous.

We hope to have these ready for sale during the 1st or 2nd week of December.

Sincerely,
Andy Baker

awesome, thanks for the fast reply, i might have to pick up a set of these to prototype a drivetrain set up that i've been thinking of since the first time i saw mecanums back during the tetra game.

If Andy Baker lost an arm, he would still be ambidextrous.


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I just wanted to thank Andy for both his support of Ramp Riot and his sponsorship of Team in a Box. It really is nice for the visiting teams when they can talk to someone like Andy and view his entire line of products.
Also Andy's continuing sponsorship of Team in a Box allows hundreds of teams to receive this disk free of charge.

On behalf of all the teams of Ramp Riot.....Thank You!!
