Hi,

one question: where did you buy the wheels?

thanks

[robologist]

These appear to be machined. Commercial mechanum wheels can be foudn at AndyMark for large robots, or for small ones, Fingertech Robotics.

[Falafax]

parallel parking would be so easy

winnnnnnnn

[cyborgtroy]

Price and because it would require either an electric powertrain with 4 separate motors, or a VERY complex transmission that would be very heavy and break down all the time.

They'd be great on cars if the ability to make them not cause you to fish tail existed, and of course price.
