It was not as easy to install a sprocket as with AndyMark or VexPro, but these wheels are designed to accept sprockets. Still, not so difficult.

We opted for AndyMark HiGrip wheels this year. Light, inexpensive and easy.
Was weight/ease(ie. not having to make your own hubs and mountings) the only factor in using the HiGrip wheels this year?(as well as lack of a plexi surface like the bridge)

(As a huge fan of your swerve as well as a huge fan of Colsons, this was one of the questions I forgot to ask while taking a look at your swerve at Lehigh)
