Re: Omni Wheel
We used AndyMark omni wheels last year, and we have AndyMark onmiwheels, performance wheels, and Gen2 Shifters this year as well as the ToughBox, all of them have bearings that easily slide in and out of their mounts.
I assume this is on purpose, bearings in industrial applications generally require an arbor press to seat, and then a bearing puller to remove, since many teams lack one if not both of these devices, such a fit is an advantage for most FIRST teams as the cost of efficiency and stability which is immeasurably and unnoticeable for most teams.
If the stability gained from a properly seated bearing is part of your design, you’re probably making most of your drivetrain yourself, so it makes sense to me.
