They sold it to 2 companies, the second one isn't doing nearly as well though. I heard the patent only cost around $2500 for each company. Airtrax is making forklifts with them (their's a video available), the other company was using them to make aircraft luggage loaders.

Maybe someone can convince them to manufacture just mecanum wheels commercially?

And I have a question, why is the Vex power pack battery heavier than the standard battery holder with 6 NIMH AA's, even though the 6 NIMH hold more power?
