Re: 6" Pneumatic Wheel Help/Suggestions for other wheels for an outdoors robot

It could use BOTH

Yes, it fits the 6" pneumatic plastic hub from AndyMark.

We lathed some excess off of ours to fit it into our shooter, I think the excess if for sprocket spacing. It lathes beautifully. Like 1334 we also scrapped the steel rims and inner tube, no pool noodle though. For a drive train I am sure you would want an inner tube.

Just a word of warning, the grey non marking wheels are just the black rubber wheels with a thin non marking layer on it, we noticed it starting to get rough after one shooter practice session. I am sure they would get torn up on concrete.

BTW last year if I recall correctly some teams didn't use a dropped center, and instead just adjusted the air in their wheels to get the desired results.
