VEXpro Mecanum Wheels
- VEXpro 217-2801, These mecanum wheels from VEXpro enable savvy robot designers to create drivetrains capable of moving in any direction while using a standard chassis shape. Simply power each wheel with a different motor & change the directions the wheels spin to get your robot to move in different directions. Mecanum wheel assembly hardware is separate from sprocket mounting hardware. Sprockets are screwed into captive 8-32 standoffs allowing for easy removal & replacement of sprockets without disassembling the entire wheel
- so you don't need to worry about the whole wheel falling apart just because you want to remove a sprocket. The construction method allows for a constant contact patch with a narrow profile. Each roller is tailored for the individual wheel diameter, & provides the correct, constant radius. These wheels aren't "almost round"
- they're actually round! This smooth ride provides higher efficiency & reduces wasted power. This is especially important in mecanum drivetrains to provide smooth holonomic motion without high motor current draw. VEXpro 217-2801 8" Mecanum Wheel Left
