Thoughts?

I've worked with one team that used them, back in 2008. The main issues are that you have to make sure the rollers are even in terms of "looseness", and that if you lose one roller, you'll want to replace it quickly. These are issues common to all mecanum wheels, though, so it's not too bad.
