Nice!!! that sounds sweet!
well i did some searching and the robot shop has some for about 85 for a 4 pack (for the alum. hubs and 75 for plastic hubs) but the O.D. is 2.125. You might be able to do some prototyping with them using vex parts then decide if you want to drop 400 for the AM ones. Our team has done a pure mecanum drive for the last 2 years (we will not go back to it, but the AM heavy duty ones work really well).
Heres the link for the robot shop ones
PS if i did come off as negative, i just don't like a pure mecanum drive.
