Modifications to FIRST Gray Wheels for Better Consistency
On this years robot we are using the FIRST Gray wheels for our shooter. Does anyone know of any modifications that were made to these wheels that increased shooter consistency. I have seen...

-Ball Compression - What is your optimal compression?
-Filling in the wheels with foam - How do you do this?
-Filing down the rubber to an angle - Method?
-Friction Tape on the Wheels - We tried this without a substantial reward

Does anyone have anything to contribute?
