You can get omniwheels from RS, but they are only plastic and are only suitable for feathers - and would definitely not take a hit from anything spinning. I bought 2 pairs of 50mm to put in Mini Mighty Mouse, not got round to it yet though

The omniwheels on Meggamouse are aluminium and very tough, thanks to Leo, who saved me a few quid. As to their efectiveness, they replaced rubber wheels and has improved the turning ability and are a better setup than castors as they are chain driven from the rear wheels.
If anyone is interested is looking at them I will put them in the toolbox for Maidstone.
