I think these are intended for the FTC market primarily. They can use all 4" wheels.

Re: New Andymark Mecanum wheel
The load capacity is only 17 pounds per wheel, they have to be for FTC.
Or maybe... Mecanum minibots anyone? :p |

FTC rules have opened up a bunch in recent years, and one of the 2013-2014 changes has allowed the use of different COTS wheels. Quote:
*I believe some teams have run into trouble using some FRC "4 inch" wheels since when measured at the tread, they can actually measure a bit over 4" - usually within .125 - .1875" - so it's worth keeping a set of Calipers handy if you don't want to be surprised. |

Looks like only very minor dimples at the roller transitions and splits. |
Re: New Andymark Mecanum wheel
Nice - we thought that these only came in 8" sizes, nice to see them in a 4" size. Could make for a nice base, but there's just no way we could afford to give up 4 motors for our drive base this year - both of our teams are just using 2WD, and they're maxed out at 8 DC motors!
