whats some good feedback you can give me about them? are there any cons to them?

also, where is the best place to buy quality mecanum wheels?
There are a number of Minnesota teams that either used mecanum wheels on their robots either this year or last year. You could probably come down to the MN Regional and take a look and have a chat.

The two that I am positive have used mecanums either this year or last are 2052 KnightKrawler and (last year) and 2207 Prime 329 (this year).
