Re: Which mecanum wheels to buy?
We've used 6" AM Mecs on three bots, 2011, 2012 and 2014. 2012 went through two regionals -- into elims in both (finals in one), two off season 1 day events (elims in both) and the MN state tournament (1 day, also to elims) and haven't had any problems. Two of those events we went to finals. 2012 bot also was in lots of demos. 2011 wheels were re-used for 2014 -- also no problems. I saw several lost rollers on Vex wheels in the bot barf box at 10K Lakes this year but other than that have no first hand experience with them.
