COTS Mecanum Wheels
We're searching for a source of 6-8" COTS mecanum wheels (preferably
8"...). Every source we've found so far is either asking literally
thousands of dollars per wheel and/or are not suitable for this contest.
URL pointers, prices, and/or evaluation feedback of COTS mecanum
wheels you've tried would all be deeply appreciated.
Also, if we WERE to make a set of them, whose design here would
(in most team's opinion) be the best, and easiest to fabricate?
They're quite a complicated device! We don't want to hinge our
robot delivery on a such a complicated thing unless we're SURE
we could make it work in time!
Thanks!
- Keith

make sure to make it look really cool, it makes it easier for teams to remember you, which comes in handy for alliance selections ;) - Holtzman [more]
