Yeah, take a look at this report (where i got most of my Mecanum information from) specifically the image on the first page titled the conventional Mecanum wheel. I think that is what you are talking about and although not as cool looking as the others, probably the easiest Mecanum to build if you don't have a CNC mill or, mill master and don't want each wheel to be a multi piece wheel.

It's not fair. it's not right, but stuff like this happens. If you don't get picked for finals tomorrow, get in those stands and cheer for those who did. Remember, this is FIRST. - wilsonmw04 [more]
