Wheel size/type-Poll

[Munchskull]

I would love to know what size and type of wheels every one oped for this year. Having read many threads over the last three weeks I looks like I might be in the minority by using 6" pneumatic wheels. So what wheels did you choose and what made you choose them?

PS how do I add a poll?
PPS found it.

We're using two different sizes of wheel - 6" and 4" AndyMark Hi-Grip wheels in a mock tank tread fashion.

12 inch wheels with a lift kit.

4in non-pneumatic wheels here... lots of them... :rolleyes:

That must be a pain to gear down. The driving factor in wheel size for me as the designer was making the smallest possible wheels work. That way we could have a small gearbox with small reductions. I like things small.

Do I hear 2007 calling? I think yes. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/26312

At one point, we were at 14 inch wheels, reduced with chains.

Currently (and probably finally) we have 8 8" wheels and 2 4" wheels, all non-pneumatic, three different treads.

Edit: I checked other.

A bunch of tiny little feet like a centipede.

Can't wait to see these guys in action! :p

Six 8.5" pneumatic wheels, standard drop-center. It's the first time since 2011 we've had more than 4 wheels. Man is this thing heavy...

4 10 by 3 inch wheels and two 6 inch colsons

I'm curious to see what teams have come up with that classifies as "other"

I suspect that most if not all of the tiny little feet and mecanum responses are from trolls.

Maybe... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXO1kawxNWk) :rolleyes:

[mrnoble]

We are using 4" mecanum. And I'm not entirely trolling you.

And at least a couple of the flying ones.

[NinjaMunkeeNao]

Flying for the win!


But in all seriousness, I believe we're using 6 to 8" pneumatic wheels.

[JagCode]

4 8" pneumatics, 4 8" 2010 smooth rubber wheels in pairs and 2 6" treaded wheels. Only the pneumatic wheels are powered though.

Might throw on some 4" treaded wheels for good measure.

I smell an intake.

[IronicDeadBird]

WHAT? No no no no... Thats the new magic smoke, came in the KOP.

You know how hexbugs work...? yeah

Can't wait to unveil our AT-AT robot drivetrain! Just need to fine tune the "kneel down and crawl under the low bar" routine. ;)

If 207 builds a suspension system, then all the other teams with suspension will look crude by comparison. No fair!

[techtiger1]

That 207 setup does look really nice, reminds me of a rc truggy, there robots are always amazing. I don't know about suspensions looking crude though especially when these guys are your new sponsors http://www.rosta.ch/index.php?lang=2.

:D

Different size and type wheels in each DT position. We may have a mentor off of 33... http://frcdesigns.com/2013/06/24/behind-the-design-2012-killer-bees/
