I think the reason that so many teams found the mecanum drive so alluring is that it has superior maneuverability.

I know that is why we chose it; but instead of buying wheels, we made our own.

Actually, i would like to hear from any other teams that made their own wheels, out of curiosity.
Ours are finished at this point, it is just a matter of assembaly.

if you want to see a finished one, find the thread "wheel envy".
