Actually these wheels appear to be directly from FIRST. Neil Rosenberg who works for FIRST engineering and is a former mentor of team 40 offered mecanums up for team a few years ago (look at team 40's 2006 robot). http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...33&postcount=4

These appear to be the same wheel that segway is now using. From the way this machine looks it appears like segway just took some of their standard gearboxes and attached Neil's wheels, with some controller, using the standard segway batteries.

look at this side by side comparison.
