Re: Engineering Project on Mecanum Wheels-Please help me gather input

1.) Drill Press, Miter Saw.
Others not on the list: Band saw, Belt Sander.

2.) First year with Mecanums, did not build them ourselves. We purchased 8" and 10" from Andy Mark.

3.) I believe that creating a plate similiar to the 8" Andy-Mark's is practically impossible with our tools. The 10" wheels seem like they could be imitated, but it wouldn't be nearly as accurate and would take ages on a band saw. Also, I think bending the roller holders correctly would be extremely difficult without some specialized tools.

Team 1727 REX out.
