Re: Where can i buy mecanums
There was a team on Galileo that made their own mecanums that were very similar to the Andymark 8" ones... with the main difference being that the rubber rollers were actually turned to provide a smooth interface with the ground.

They assured me that no CNC equipment was used, and had photos to show how they did it. It wasn't EASY, and it wasn't quick... but it was good.

And no, I can't remember their team name or number,

Jason

P.S. I thought I saw a photo of some VEX legal home-built mecanums on Chief Delphi a year or so ago...
