Re: 2012 KOP wheels

We used them as a part of a somewhat peculiar setup: we had a 8WD (all leveled together), where the two wheels (on each side) in the center are performence wheels with roughtop treads, the wheels in the back (where the CoG is) were 2012 KOP wheels and the wheels up front (which was really light) were omni wheels. Since we had higher tracktion wheels it's hard to really tell how the KOP wheels performed throughout, but when getting on the bridge, when the robot still touches the ground, the only wheels with grip are the KOP wheels and the omni wheels, for the performence wheels are in the air). We never had problems getting up the bridge, which tells me these wheels have some heavy grip (I don't believe we can hold it for the omni wheels nearly as much as for the KOP wheels).
