The dinosaurs are still having way too much fun with their V2 Max! Here's a quick video of a mecanum wheeled rover they made for their friends:

The whole project was to create a parametric mecanum wheel generator, published here: Parametric Mecanum Wheel Generator Tool
The rest of the rover parts are here: All-3d-Printed Mecanum Wheel Rover using Parametric Wheels
Except for the circuit boards, wires, motors and screws, this one was 100% printed on the Rostock. It's way too much fun to drive around. About the only downside is how fast the teeny-tiny bearings accumulate hair and fuzz and bits of failed PLA fluff and need cleaning.
