Re: 4" vs. 6" + 8" Diameter Wheels

i would prefer 5 inch wheels, but settle for 6 inch wheels for several reasons. most of the omni wheels from andymark smaller than 6 inches are very bumpy, also 4 inch mechanums don't exist for FRC. i think 6 inch wheels are the most versatile, and that the tiny benefit of going to 4 inch wheels is not worth the flexibility trade-off.
