 With three robots, I was expecting better scores but I guess more robots means more penalties, not more points. - sanddrag [more] |

In reference to CAD and molded wheels thread. Revision 2 of my earlier design. Yeah the render isn't too great =/
Blue nitrile ftw. I'm not good at drawing the actual tread pattern yet.

Don't worry about it, the render looks fine.
I really like the style of the spokes, it has a certain robustness about it, and yet is very cool looking 
I'm assuming this wheel would be made with a CNC mill? And how is the tread going to be secured to the wheel?

Here's the old one. It used to be a 2" wide wheel.

It doesn't look unreasonable. It looks like it can be done with a second pass with a corner rounding mill bit.

For attaching the tread, how about splitting the wheel in two like the AM Plaction wheel?

Re: pic: Molded Wheel MORT
The plaction wheels still need to have the tread riveted or screwed down or else they will slip too. You might as well just do a solid wheel that is lighter and rivet the tread. Akash I love your wheel design by the way. It should be very light and it looks cool.

I wish we could have cool stuff like that
