Looks pretty cool! How has your experience been with the new AndyMark (?) omni wheels?

We have had a pretty good experience with them so far. I would recommend using them exclusively on tile, carpet, or other smooth surfaces as concrete or a similar rough surface easily eats the rubber, but this is true for all omni/mechanum wheels.

These wheels are much closer to a circular profile and are super smooth compared to previous generation omni wheels.

3946 is using them as well. Getting the heights correct seems more important than the old wheels when driving on tile, but it may be an unfair comparison, as this year is our first H-drive. On carpet we haven't had a problem.
As you would expect from the rounder profile, they seem to make less noise driving than the old ones, even comparing the new ones pushing against the old ones idling. This probably bodes well for durability.
They also seem to have better traction than omnis with hard rollers.
