Nice Wheels!

Did you guys measure a coefficient of friction for the "Team60Tread" (as we call it) on the carpet/HDPE/Wire?

We measured 1.2ish for both the carpet, and the wire. But I'm curious what other teams got.

I'm fairly certain use of screws in that manner is illegal. We ended up attaching our treads with liberal usage of Epoxy. I'm not sure though. FIRST has been very, confusing, in their answering of such questions. I believe the use you have is illegal in the wording of the rule, but legal if you obey the spirit of the rule.
