Re: Banebots Wheels

Jay it depends on how much compression you put on the frisbee.

We've used the blue ones all season and have gone through a ton of wheels. We have an extremely high amount of wear on our first of three shooter wheels. Before IRI we tried switching the first set of wheels to the softer orange ones hoping they would wear down slower but the compression we put on the disc was so high it wore down faster so we stuck with the blue ones. We change the first set of wheels once every 5 matches and before elims.

I know most teams use the green and orange ones for manipulators (rollers and claws) in the past but I don't think its much of a difference in some applications.
