as a field resetter, you see these things... but all those little black pieces are from team 25's wheels, they had really soft wheels, and bordered on excessive debris, good bot by the way... i was afraid of it at least :-p

It's a chicken and egg thing
 

The light bulb goes on - *ding*. Perhaps there were none on their bot because they were all on the field?

Isn't locktite illegal? No adhesives, I thought...

(Along the same lines, chewing gum isn't an adhesive is it? Because we were talking about holding together a bot completely with old chicklets after we found our post-lunch vending machine gum hard to chew.)

I'm pretty sure the rule is no excessive lubricants and no adhesives to act as a traction device. And, loctite is not an adhesive; it cures under pressure, not heat or time.

Didn't know that about loctite...

and you just proved my team captain wrong and myself right. Thanks much.

And as usual, I begin to digress...

yeah...
 

loctite is legal, as long as you use it properly... to keep bolts/nuts in place. also, adhesives such as contact cement were legal last year, and we used a really strong epoxy too...
