Re: 5" Wheels

What was your reasoning behind choosing 5" wheels? Even number diameters are drastically more common. If this is for a FIRST bot, you'll have trouble finding wheels that you can mount easily, be it on live or dead shafts. I strongly suggest that if you need 5" wheels, you machine them yourself.
