Re: Looking for Mecanum Wheels

If you have some patience...I believe they are coming to FIRST next year?

I was talking to team at nationals(dont remember number...will look up) and they had these awesome mecanum wheels.

So first question was how did you make them? Their response was that a company approached them and asked them to "test" the wheels out and make improvements. After further conversation I found out that they had done some serious "weight reduction" on them and that they hoped the company would consider the changes.


They also informed me that the company had wanted to release them this year for FIRST teams, but they could not meet the requirement of having enough for every team to buy a set. They also told me that we can plan on seeing them next year for sale for about $350 for a set of 4.

Again this is all from memory and they were still not absolutely positive they would be coming out this year....but wow if we can get "light" mecanum wheels for 350 a set...SIGN ME UP.
