Re: Where can i buy mecanums

One of the students on 1135 did a bit of research. (The team doesn't have the resources to build their own.)

You have 2 options for an FRC-legal set.
  1. AndyMark
  2. Make your own.
And trust me, making your own isn't as easy as it sounds. 330's experimental sets were done by SLS some years ago. That's the easiest way to do it, other than copying the AM design or maybe following 357's process.

[Edit]It gets worse if you don't want AndyMark. I just did a quick Google search. The first three hits were: Wikipedia, CD, and AM, in about that order. There wasn't a whole lot else I could find that would help locate vendors--mostly what looked like papers on mecanums or CD (or FIRST/VEX) discussions, or videos of team's robots. You'd think that companies selling them would be high on the list.[/Edit]
