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

Last night we got the new drive and the modifications finished. Straight line tests were awesome. We were so psyched! He can even pop a (albeit small) wheelie!

But then...

We started testing tank drive pivot in-place... OH NO! He now has so much torque and traction with his four motors and four AndyMark HiGrip wheels he tears up the mat! Yikes!

1. To those of you driving all four wheels, what wheels are you using? We could replace the HiGrips with four 4" Tetrix regular wheels. That might work or it might tear up the mat as well.

2. We could use two HiGrips on the back and two Dual Omnis on the front. That is the same wheel set we had initially but we were not driving the Omnis. Would that work?

THANKS!
