These look good to me. I ordered a set a couple days ago -- will have more to say when they arrive.

EDIT: I'm not sure what you mean by direct drive, but if you are looking to power the wheels via a shaft you might want to look at these or these.

Re: where to but 6 inch omni wheels
As you might have already figured out, AndyMark is a very good place to buy wheels to serve any of your competition needs.

We bought 8" trick wheels last year and we didn't have any problems except for when we tore off half of the rollers when driving on a tennis court. Not the wheel's fault.

Just a poor user on device
