Just to be clear: it's not really my team I'm concerned about currently. I called Vex to see about availability for mecanum wheels because we might want a couple spares. The salesperson said availability would be "after the end of the FRC season". I said, "April or May, then?", and he said "right". I am not ragging on Vex at all; clearly, they had no control over the huge demand for this particular product this year, and are subject to the same market forces as anyone.

I am going to start a new thread to see if teams might want to create a wheel sharing program. We might have a few 6" omnis we could swap with a team that needs them, for example.
