It might be able to be done without the rotary axis, but you'd be there all day doing exacting setups for every roller on the wheel, then the surfacing on the top and bottom.
Someday when i have a lot of time i have nothing to do with i'll probably try this.
P.S. AIRTRAX does make mechanum wheels off-the-shelf.
