Re: Banebots Wheels
We used mostly blue to manipulate the game pieces.
We started using three inch wheels for our shooter and the orange ones tore up quickly so we switched to blue. This significantly reduced wear but we were still replacing them every 6 matches.
After watching several other teams we switched to four inch orange wheels and were able to substantially reduce compression and were still shooting harder than our previous setup with significant reduction in wear.
Obviously the increase in wheel speed was a huge factor.
