Re: Drive Wheels

We originally went with 3 inch *citation needed* Colson wheels, until we realized that we could use a small bag of zip-ties to prop up the robot (way less than a quarter inch of clearance between the ground and our chassis). We quickly CADed up some nice looking wheels and CNC Milled them out of aluminum. We also riveted on some nice, black rough-top tread for more gripy-ness. It worked and looked great!
