Here's a render of the latest revision. It's little bigger (effective diameter of 8ish inches), and uses more machining resources. to shave weight off.
Once I hit a revision that i feel comfortable putting on a robot, I'll be hosting the CAD for anyone that wants it, with only one rule: if you make it or modify it, you also have to put the CAD up. It's time to bring Open Source to robotics, folks.

I've spent some time designing mecanums (on a smaller scale), and I have my own method, but I was wondering if you would share the method you used to create the curvature of the roller. Specifically in CAD terms (I'm very familiar with any CAD system), what you did to ensure your roller curve was as effective as possible.
Thanks in advance!
