Watch our for the rollers intersecting with the belts. You will need to figure out some sort of spacers.
I just posted our spacer/adapter here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:642155

These adapt the vex wheel pattern to the AM pulleys in the KOP, and space it so the belt clears the wheel. We still needed to adjust the axle spacers to keep the vex wheels from rubbing.
