If you do have any worries though, you could purchase extra rollers, they are not too expensive, and you should not need to switch them out more than once every 24 hours of drive time on bad ground.

One thing I need to ask though, is there a reason why you want to use mechanum wheels? Sure it can turn a lot easier, but it really is not the best for a really uneven surface, as the vectors may not cancel out properly...
