Re: Mecanum Demo-Bot Recommendations?

We have had VEX mecanum wheels break on us. It seems like everyone else has had a good experience with them so take my advice with a grain of salt. AndyMark mecanums are more durable. The VEX ones look really cool but the way the rollers attach makes that attachment pretty weak, we busted three rollers off different wheels all in that same spot. So we now have AndyMark mecanums on our bot and they have held up much better. I don't know why the VEX ones broke and I trust VEX's quality in most things but I prefer AndyMark for mecanums.
