Re: New Vex Mecanum

I'll add a report from our team as well. Wheels performed fine through two Regionals and tons of time on the practice fields. After grinding against a 2x4 for a couple seconds however, one of the wheels' rollers developed a troubling wobble. The robot was up on blocks and one of those blocks was wedged against a wheel. Not really a typical use case, but damage was certainly done to it. We ran it for a while but eventually swapped it with a fresh wheel. The rollers were holding together just fine, it was just as if their mounting had loosened up a bit.
