If the modules are designed to assemble into a single configuration, and the assembly is functional in only that configuration, then the total cost of the complete assembly including all modules must fit within the price constraints defined in Rule <R22>.

So at $710, they would exceed the $400 limit.

However, you can buy each wheel for $180, which is allowed per COTS rule... this would have to be a Q&A question. It is possible to use 2 mecanum wheels to give a "car" like steering system.
