And, along with 488, both were in the same division as 1310, so it may be likely that you saw either implementation. We had wheel pods in our pits to show to people that were interested.

In any case, I'd be happy to answer questions you might have about our implementation or about the drive style itself.

Here is a rendering of our drive -- http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/39420

Thanks everyone. I am contacting the teams that you mention.
I can say the mecanums were not Andymark or Vex, they might have had steel instead of aluminum sides (maybe even chrome plated).
They appeared to be 4-5". Black rubber wheels. Not necessarily limited to Galelio but most likely. It was at their pit and they did show me an example "pod"

Perhaps us. We found a chinese OEM that made some really good mecanum wheels. Still had to replace them many times during the season, though. I can definitely get you some more details on this, PM me or Mark Sheridan.
