Mecanum Wheels

[BBray_T1296]

I can imagine that a "barbie jeep" will be operating on something distinctly different to the industrial carpet we are used to (or smooth warehouse cement floors either). I would, without further knowledge, assume you will be driving on a road surface, like a concrete or asphalt parking lot.

As such, I will warn you that Mecanum wheels made for FRC, such as Andymark and VexPro wheels, will likely have very poor tread durability operating on the sandpaper-like ground. The durometer of the tread on the rollers is quite soft and will wear down quickly, particularly during strafing.
