Yes. Since we wanted a wide robot there wasn't much room for the second set of wheels. We tucked 2" diameter Colson wheels in as close as possible to the 6" mecanum wheels.

Here is a picture of the module. It worked really well except for being rather heavy. (The frames were aluminum not Lexan.) If we did it again, we'd work on bringing the weight down.
