    You've got give us some more details on that robot.

    What kind of motors and controllers are you using? How did you mount the Vex Mecanum wheels to the motors?

    What are you using as a remote?

    That's an awsome robot!

    You've seen my Rover 5 chassis with Mecanum wheels right? The Rover 5 is a bit under powered for the wheels but it's tough to bet its price for a robot with four motors with encoders.

    I'm guessing this was the robot you were hoping to finish before Expo?

    Way to show that old Roomba Discovery who's Boss!

    Very nice! All the right people beat me to posting. You can clobber Martin_H's figure 1 course with climb-action-traction like that.

    And Duane is no longer solo singing the praises of Mecanum Wheels.

    You had me at laser-cut plywood. Beautiful! Hope you bring that to Expo.

    I'm left gnashing my teeth, staring at my unused VEX wheels still in the box. Arrrggghhh...

    These wheels are amazing! and your robot too!
    I was wandering if I could find wheels like yours in appropriate size in order to fit with the Motor Mount and Wheel Kit with Position Controller

    My experience with Sparkfun's cheesy mecanum wheels was frought with peril. Later, I can video how poorly they perform, which should make Rich & Duane feel even prouder!
