yes, royal assault theyre 8" mecanum wheels i admire very much and they are deffenetly not the first or the last of their kind. I love their button they were giving away it was just a mecanum wheel side view. i have it here hanging on my shelf at work. royal assault had there oun custom silicone rolers with fiberglass bushings. they deffenitaly had traction and plenty of it. there problem was getting up the ramp with those huge wheels all 4 of them had to be touching the ground for the robot to move properly, going up the ramp at any angle but straight on wouldn't work.
