Re: VersaWheel vs Traction wheels

Alright, thanks for the info! we were talking about testing new drivetrain configurations and this came up. We have some spares we got last year, so we will probably try it anyways, but we probably will not buy more. The idea, at least, was to have 8-10 wheel tank drive (2.875" diameter) with each composed of 3x0.4" units for a total of 24-30 BaneBot Wheels. I liked the idea of the 0.8" thickness but was not sure how much more/less sturdy they were than 2x0.4" side by side.

If they wear out too quickly, (to us, versa-wheels don't wear out prohibitively quickly) though, they probably won't be an option

I also see that the different colors represent different tread hardnesses (Green soft, Orange medium, Blue hard).

When you said

They wear far, far too quickly.
What color were you using?
