Re: Mecanum: VEX VS. AndyMark

We have been using the 6" Mecanum wheels from AndyMark every year since 2009. We usually use one set two years in a row and then buy new ones. Our old bots use the old sets still and they work wonderfully after 4-5 competitions each and many many demos. We have never broken a roller even after climbing the bridge in 2012 and falling off the pyramid in 2013. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Especially this year, Very heavy loads will be placed on those front wheels this year so make sure your team accounts for it.
