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

We have all of those tools as well as a CnC mill, however it is really only a 2 axis with 36 inches of x, 10 of y, and 8 of z, so it is not large enough to make large wheels. we also have access to a sheet metal bender which works with 1/8 t6061 aluminum reasonably well.

i attempted to make machanum wheels in the off season prior to this year, the hardest thing was the bend, and making it accurate, as well as not crooked.

i think that the best way to do it would be to make a hub with slots for the desired number of rollers, and then make arms to hold the rolers.
