We've used mechanums for the last couple of years with success. Last year we made our own gearboxes and built them into our chassis. They worked exceptionally well but, obviously, were a huge drain on time. Other years we used Andymark ToughBoxes and those worked well for us. I'd recommend them unless you'd like the challenge of the custom gearboxes.
