Re: pic: Easy to make mecanum wheels

Again, 190's wheels were slightly different than your treads, but our original aluminum supports bent with normal use (I don't remember the thickness, but they were at least 1/8") and we had to upgrade to steel.

Oh, and be careful bending metal on a vice. If you form a sharp corner, you will be losing a significant amount of strength.
