Could those really be gigantic tri wheel climbing wheels? Why so big? Seems like teams have a really wide range of what they think is neccesary to climb. Some climb with 4 12.5" skyway (like us, though we didnt intend to climb when we first desgined it), while others have 20" wheels or bigger. Whats that white material on the triwheels? painted wood?

Those are massively humungous tri-star wheels. Do you have a video of this thing in action?

That is surely one way to get up the 6 inch step :yikes:

I like it :D

The material is called starboard, it is a light marine grade plastic.

Do you have a video of this thing in action? I wish! we didnt even get any practice time.

That is surely one way to get up the 6 inch step with our mochup we figured we would be able to climb 12 inchers, god I wish there were 12 inchers in this game:p

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are 12 inch steps in the game. You might be able to climb between the 12 and 6 inches simultaneously then do a 90 degree turn onto the top platform and save maybe a few seconds.

Team 27 gets up the 6" step on 6, 8" wheels fine
