This is what good suppliers do when they have a quality problem. They let their customers know about it right away.

I wish all of the suppliers I deal with would do this. Props to IFI/VEXPro.

How much will the overall diameter of a "four inch" Versawheel be changed, relative to that of a Traction Tire, when roughtop or wedgetop conveyor belting is used instead? The renderings appear to show the Traction Tire proud of the wheel by ~3/8", so I'm guessing that traditional treads will reduce the OD by ~1/4", is that about right?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
