I tried to post some video to youtube but it wasn't cooperating so video should be up in the next day or two. If anyone at Monty Madness wants to demo this come find me, I should be in the Vex pits.

Where the wheels made on a 3-D printer? If so, that is even cooler!

Yeah they were made on a 3D printer. The design isn't mine though I found it on the vex forum.

Re: pic: Vex Mecanum Wheels
That's awesome, how long did it take to print each roller?

I would also love to see some video of this in action, this could become a very cheap way to prototype a mecanum drive if someone started selling these.

Three dimensional printers for rapid prototyping typically use ABS plastic, which is likely the same for the wheels.
