Last year i think team 190 had a method in which they locked the rollers of their mecanum wheels effectively turning them into regular wheels. Can anyone from team 190 double check me on this?

I have also seen some examples of rovers which had the ability to switch from mecanum to regular wheels. They looked like an 8 wheeled robot that could lift its outer wheels.
