Re: Teams With Mecanum Wheels
Oh man.. I just looked at 357's drive... thats gotta be the best thing since sliced bread. I know my team will definatly look into that next year.. cool.

As for how to get them, I really dont know. It seems like the kind of thing you custom make, or if you have to buy, it will be expensive. Of course custom making something like that is a nightmare without a sheetmetal shop (not necesarily, remember that I am uncreative), and I don't have a sheetmetal shop.

But I would say spending the time to CNC something like those wheels would be really cool. Sorry, Im personally a fan of anything that can move like swerve drive, be it swerve, omni, or this thingamabob.

I must say, I would have been clueless about this for a while if you hadn't posted. Thanks man, this is something I shall think about for next year.
