Re: Favorite wheels

REGOLITH!

Why? you knucklehead!, you might ask. Well, it was my first year on my schools team, and our programmer managed to get our 85 lbs (regestered) to shove around full-weight bots with the trailer at right agles to their desirred movement.

Last year we got the replacement wheels for AM 8" mecano wheels, then made our own torch/bend aluminum faces for a whole lot less! The only issue was programming/wiring...... Plugged in declarations for Vics instead of Jags, and the whole thing went all wick-wacky at low speeds, but high speeds were just right.....
