357 has used the Banebots P80 gearboxes now for several seasons with great success -
http://banebots.com/c/P80K-S4 They work well if you're looking to keep your gearboxes inline with your mecanum wheels. See a photo below of our 2011 drive train showing how we implemented our gearboxes -
I tried to find a decent picture of our entire drive package mounted to this past year's robot. Our back wheel package pivots to ensure that our wheels are always in contact with the floor, which is an important thing to factor in when designing your mecanum drive. You never know what is under the carpet you'll be driving on.
