there are issues with 4 in machanum, as far as i know vexpro is the only place to sell FRC ones, and they had serious issues with wear and functionality if you are going to try 4 inch wheels you should make the wheels vary easily replaceable (between matches you should be able to easily replace one, and you will probably want to make sure you can replace two in five minutes).
