Yes, R.C. we were using the updated rollers. The robot they were on was from 2015's game. I would expect that they broke because in 2015 my team had a large number of problems, and that directly correlated to how well our robot was built. And so, if we had built our drive-train properly the problem would have been avoided. Let's just say (and OP make note of this) that putting your gearboxes underneath your frame members, held on with 6 inch 10-32s is a REALLY bad idea. So OP when building a mecanum drive give your wheels and gearboxes their needed support, and if you're not going to, give them some kind of suspension. So R.C. we were using the updated rollers but I don't blame VEX at all, and should have made that clear, we were just using them very improperly.
