Re: VexPro vs. Andymark Mecanum Wheels

We used the 8" normal Andymark wheels last year and the 8" Vex wheels this year. We only attended one regional both years and saw no failures with either set.

For us the Vex wheels are a no brainer to continue using since they are lighter (significantly), cheaper, they come completely assembled, and we saw no difference in durability.
