Re: [Ri3D] BOOM DONE. We're not done...

We used the the 6" VEXpro mecanums. We did not have any problems through 2 regionals and Worlds. Then we did demos and the wheels started breaking. Once one goes, they all start going. Either the had been weakened or once the one roller went, the others had uneven forces and they would all start breaking. We finally changed the demo bot to 4 standard wheels because we would lose a roller halfway through. At demos, the kids were more likely to run on uneven ground and start the cascade of breakages.

I would think they would last through regionals on even ground, just make sure you have a set of replacement wheels(and design for easy wheel changes) and extra rollers.
