Re: Mecanum wear and dirt resistance
Over the past 11 months our robot has probably ran for about 5 hours on asphalt, 4 of which during the same day. We also had about 6 hours of drive time on carpet. Our wheels are doing fine, and we have not had switch anything out.
The one thing that I would suggest, however, is to clean the vicinity of the wheel every now and then, as that can get pretty dirty.
Edit: We used the 8" wheels from AndyMark, and all the parts used for the wheel were COTS.
