A time-lapse video of the new 6" Mecanum Wheel Recycle Rush test is now up on the VEX YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLwbjCPZ958

Test conditions:
  • Chassis: 2013 Drive in a Day with custom upper structure to hold weight
  • Weight: 118 lb (barbells)
  • Field: "Regulation" Recycle Rush practice field. Scoring platforms made out of plywood and covered with HDPE.
  • Duration: 4+ hours (excluding battery changes, motor cooldown, etc).

We were pleased with the results. Tl;dw version: no broken rollers, just some worn rubber.
