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

Looks very good! A few notes to think about:

1. Fine tune the spacing between the two wheels to find a good balance between stability (from a longer wheel base) and turning ability (from a shorter wheel base)

2. It's been a while since I've played with TETRIX gears but I'm fairly certain you don't need all four screws to mount the gears to the shaft collars. Two will probably suffice but four doesn't hurt

3. Find a spacing such that there's the least number of axles as possible (for simplicity and maintenance sake)

Keep up the good work!
