Re: pic: 2175 Wheel v2

Fully assembled, the wheel weighs 130 grams (.286 lbs). We use the 1" wide wedge top tread that Andymark sells. They changed the rubber compound they're using, and it seems a lot tougher than the kind they sold last year. We did two events on the same set, and they really don't look any different now than they did on bag day. Granted, we're only running 4 cims in a drivetrain that wasn't geared nearly as high as a lot of robots out there.

I'm looking at new options for tread attachment personally. What kind of glue did you guys use for your wheels?
