Re: Mechanum Wheel Rollers Stuck
The more freely the rollers turn, the more consistent your robot will maneuver. We used AndyMark 6" mecanum wheels in 2008 and had no issues with them. We had a spare set as well so no notable problem with 8 wheels.

Since we did not have issues, I'm not sure how much help I can provide. My suggestion is to try loosening the nut/screw on either side of the offending rollers. They may be just a bit tight. If you continue to have problems you may try asking AndyMark directly. They are usually very friendly and helpful.
