Yeah, we were talking with AndyMark about producing our wheels from last year with them, but we didn't really follow up after Atlanta. Not an easy process, but for the students it is a manufacturing process that many engineering students aren't exposed to in college programs. This took weeks of our build season. Using the address below, click on the Mecanum Wheels folder.

There are pictures of the process, we haven't written up a process guide. We used Smooth-On urethane products and the customer support was terrific helping us through the process.

Best of luck!
