Shooter wheels

Right now the arm that I designed is using the 2012 KOP wheels; the 6 in HiGrip FIRST Wheel (am-0940), to suck in and shoot the balls. Is this legal? Are all wheels legal to use on any part of the robot? And is anyone else using these? we are getting amazing distances, (50ft) and we are compressing the ball about 3 inches.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Shooter wheels

We found that the wheels that came in the kit chewed up the ball. As long as you aren't getting flecks of orange foam, it's legal.

Half of our team wants to use the 8" KOP wheels(the smooth ones) and the other half want to use 8" Colson wheels.

Colsons make great shooter wheels, good weight for flywheel effect and also great grip on the ball (our robot has 10+ colsons on it)

Re: Shooter wheels

We are using the 8" KOP wheels for our shooter and we are getting solid results.
