We bought the transwheels from there, and our omniwheels for the real bot there. The reason we went with the transwheel was they are closer in size to the metal omniwheels from omniwheel.com. If your building a full size bot i would really recommend making your own omni wheels and not buying the metal ones from omniwheel.com they are pretty heavy and bulky.

we didnt try to use the EDU motors we bought our own with encoders built in already.
