Lots of cores threaded together, I would have to ask the owner of the computer exactly what specs of it but I know its a Dual-Hex core 2.66 Ghz Or something like that. While I only have a dual core.

Is the purpose of the dual rollers to increase load-handling capability?

Did you consider instead using a single row with larger rollers, to reduce gaps and overlap ?
The dual roller we find more efficient from experience in the past with mecanums however the challenge of the design with a dual roller is much harder than a single roller. I can assure you in the second wheel (also posted) the wheel has a perfectly round projection.

Not to take away the work you did rendering these (they are incredible; having done renders way back when in AutoCAD on a 386 computer I know there is a ton of work involved), but the thumbnail photo of the other photo has the strange effect of two little fuzzy animals with big bulgy eyes. It doesn't show in the larger photo, but now I can't look at the Image Gallery and not see them lking back at me.
That might be the work of the image converter... CD wouldn't take the original photo because it is a 40 MB file. And CD also wouldn't handle the smaller PNG file. SO I had to find a converter online since I don't have photoshop or anything on my computer to convert to a JPG file. I just looked at it and saw what you were saying.

If you are interested in the FULL quality image send me a PM because I have to track down the file and I can attempt to email it to you.
