There's no "oops" about anything.

is it just me or the frame is floating because there is no axle going through that wheel

I think the perspective it's shot from precludes you from being able to see the axle, if it is there.

hmm no axle coming out to meet the outside of the frame.

This can only mean one thing: car type steering!!!

If you look to the right side of the wheel, there's a hole in the chassis that's looks to be just the right size for a bearing, which would probably imply that at least this end of the robot has fixed, live-axle wheels.

However, judging from the faceplate in the foreground of the photo, this is a very wide channel in the middle of the drive train module. A lot wider than would be required for a plain six-wheel drive robot, especially with traction wheels that look about 1.25" wide. I'm thinking the other end of the robot has steerable wheels.

It's possible, but it could just be a lighting hole. And how would the frame be up if there is not some portion of an axle going into the wheel. If it was a fixed axle and that was a bearing hole, the axle should come out the other end, which it isn't doing.

Why is the wheel blue?

Someone is finally stepping up to combat the idea that everything should be pink :p

Now that you have gotten me thinking, that looks like one of 254's 2007 wheels, is it?

It's a teaser, so all the parts aren't necessarily shown.

I doubt it's just a lightening hole; if it was just there to save weight then it would have been triangulated like all the rest. However, the large round hole coupled with the large amount of aluminum left around the hole looks like it's there to support something. :)

It's just nitrile roughtop tread (which is only available in the color blue) from McMaster-Carr. It's on page 1219 if you're interested.

Looks like Pink is making the move from pneumatic wheels to something a little more... turnable.

Pink + Poof/Rawc, this will be epic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the Poofs/Rawc always used wedgetop tread, not nitrile roughtop?

We used roughtop last year.

I think he was talking about the rim and not the tread.
