All machanum wheels I have seen have the rollers set at 45 degrees and the Vexanum 2.0 wheels look like they are set at a different angle. Perhaps someone could clarify this for me.

They can be set at any angle, strictly speaking, but the 45* offset is the most efficient choice for lateral translation. You could similarly optimize the roller angle of each well to facilitate, say, translation at 30* from forward if you chose.
