PM me if you would like more information on these wheels.

Andy,
I got to see the new AndyMark Mecanum wheels in Atlanta and I love the simple elegant design. I was really bummed when I didn't win them! There was mention of a possible white paper on them to be posted on the TechnoKats website. Is this still fourth coming? How about posting a picture so that everyone that didn't get to see this much sought after COTS product can see what they have to look forward to. I predict many teams will have Mecanums this next year! Great job bringing these sort of products to the market for teams that don't have the resources to make them themselves. Kudos to you and Mark!
BTW: What sort of hub setup are you thinking of for the final design? For what it's worth I would love to see a setup compatable with IFI wheels with the same sort of 3/8" flanged bearings and sprocket hole pattern (6 on 1.875" IIRC). They would then be a drop in replacement on the KitBot chassis.
