As for how to get them, I really dont know. It seems like the kind of thing you custom make, or if you have to buy, it will be expensive. Of course custom making something like that is a nightmare without a sheetmetal shop (not necesarily, remember that I am uncreative), and I don't have a sheetmetal shop.
But I would say spending the time to CNC something like those wheels would be really cool. Sorry, Im personally a fan of anything that can move like swerve drive, be it swerve, omni, or this thingamabob.
I must say, I would have been clueless about this for a while if you hadn't posted. Thanks man, this is something I shall think about for next year.

357 has a whole display and process laid out that will show that ANY team can make their own Mecanum Wheels. Please contact Joe Troy or Ken Delaney through CD and they'd be glad to help you, I know they would!
