Re: VersaWheel vs Traction wheels
We used Versa Wheels last year for our 6wd. We ended up going through three sets of them through four events (2 regionals, Championships, and IRI). We didn't have any problems with having to buy multiple sets since they are so cheap. I personally don't have a lot of experience with traction wheels, since we only built one practice bot that used them, but I never felt like our robot was at a disadvantage to robots with traction wheels because of the Versa Wheels. I would recommend at least buying a set to put on a practice robot, since they are so cheap. IMO they are a really cheap alternative that is almost as good.
