Thanks

We should have an opinion in a few days...

The AM HD mecanum wheels are beasts -- durable, reliable, easy to mount (with appropriate hubs, 'natch), next to impossible to break under normal circumstances. (We've done some really hard driving on ours for three years, and they work as good as new without even replacing the rollers as yet -- the rubber's getting hard, but not enough to do anything to performance that our drivers were able to notice.)

The VEXPro wheels are lighter and seem pretty durable, but boy they're loud when running at high speed. (We have yet to drive around on them -- waiting for a few more parts from the CNC!)

VexPro Mecanums are lighter. I personally think they look a little more sleek.

We can give some feedback at the end of the season but nothing we can test right now will compare to how they hold up over the course of a competition event.
