Re: Mecanum: VEX VS. AndyMark
We have always used 8 in AndyMark wheels, both the old ones and the new type with the outer rollers. The (new) AndyMark wheels are rated for 500 lbs per wheel, so they are nearly indestructible (at least in my experience).

I have never used the VexPro wheels, so I cannot compare their performance, but they definitely aren't as strong. I have seen other teams have their rollers break off during a match. Their benefit is smaller size and weight due to their plastic construction.
