Re: Vex Pro Mecanum Wheel Roller Inquiry

We were using Vex 6" mecanums on our preseason drivetrain and they worked well. We had little problems with rollers losening. However when we got to full competition weight we had problems. We snapped at least five rollers off in one night under normal driving conditions. Part of the problem may be that we are using ball shifters with a CIM and a Mini CIM to power each wheel. Suffice to say, we have switched to Andymark wheels on the competition version.
