I could think of some advantages to using a 6 or 8 inch wheel with flanges to help guide the robot on the pole. The point however was not to intimate that AndyMark wheels are the solution. The point was that the rules do not restrict you to raw materials only for polycarb. Preformed materials are allowed. Q&A even clarified this point here. http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=16317
