Re: [FTC]: Can I add non-slip material to 4" Tetrix Wheels?

We currently have two 40:80 gear driven 4" AM Hi-Grip wheels with two dual omni wheels on the other end. It works but...

Thinking through Saturdays events, it became obvious a lot of our weaknesses are traceable to inadequate traction, being too slow, and not being able to smoothly and reliably transition over the ramp edges.

I think having four driven wheels would be a big step to better.

We only own one motor controller so that is what we started with. Later I was able to borrow a motor controller for our lift motor and flag motor. For regionals I think I can borrow another motor controller.

We are definitely going to undertake a major whale dive into drive systems during the off season.
