True. But that should never be considered a valid strategic option. :D

You do not understand how much you scared our team with that. I believe half the team was about to have a heart attack from our dreams being crushed. But, thankfully it was not.

We ended up keeping the HF rims, milling out the bearing hub and having some replacement hubs waterjet cut that uses the bolt pattern of the HF rims and a 1/2" hex hole. One hub on each side of the rims. We're really happy with these tires/hubs, they fit the sweet spot for our drivetrain between the AM tires and some 10" tires we tried.

We hit the moat at full speed in high gear, just for fun.

Our preferred method is hitting the defenses fast and going dukes of hazard on them, but proper tire inflation keeps us from catching quite as impressive of air.

As far as I know (being the programming mentor, and not mechanical :-P ), we used the same hubs that they came with (yes, the same Harbor Freight wheels), but we had to make custom covers to size up to the hex shaft (if that makes sense).

A GIF of the robot jumping over the defense platform and low bar, sans actual bar.

Also, not necessarily a jump but probably the most impressive accidental trick we have done. That's what happens when your drivers ride BMX.

I really want to take ours to the skate park. It's so fun to jump this thing off stuff.

We're never going to let him live that down :)

I hope you have a new rio, otherwise good luck, especially if you are competing early.

I wish you good luck either way, but you will especially need it if your roborio does not work...

We would have had a whole shop working to fix your bot too! Thankfully no robots were injured in the making of our fail.
