I can guess which one is more likely to show up on a robot!
As for the bumpy factor in the ride, you could always (at this cost) build 8 wheels, and attach them in tandem, with one rotated 30 degrees from it's partner... much the same way you can use two omnis to smooth out the ride.

I remember that thread, IMHO this wheel looks almost as nice as it. Not as flashy but it has an elegance that certainly makes it beautiful.
Jason, would mounting two of them like that really work? I mean I suppose it would but has anyone ever done it with Mecanums?
