Re: Who is using 10" Pneumatic Wheels

For clarification, we're using the Andymark 8" Pneumatic wheels in the center of a six wheel drive, with 8" Dualie Omni Wheels on both the front and back (also from Andymark).

And, yeah, she spins like a top. So far we've only tested the 'bot on linoleum, and she tends to drift quite a bit, but that won't be as big of an issue on carpet. With some practice the drive team should be able to handle it fine.
