Re: Team 3647: Off season

Looks like a good bot, and a very good autonomous mode, I'm sure you'll be able to score consistently with that!
One piece of advice to your team, your kit wheels in the back seemed to be slipping a lot on the carpet, especially when you turned. Best advice for that is to invest in some High-Traction wheels ("Plaction Wheels," available at http://www.andymark.com/category-s/103.htm ) My team's used these for the past 6 years now (except for Lunacy!) with a lot of success, we definitely like these wheels because the rough top tread DOES NOT SLIP! If you were to throw a pair of these on your bot to replace the kit wheels, I think you'll find you'll be much faster and far more nimble.
Either way, best of luck to ya!
