Re: In Need of Banebot Wheels
5254 used colsons for their collectors the entire year, and with the modifications made for IRI copying 1114's collector geometry, they were extremely effective at intaking totes at near any angle.
I'm a firm believer that most of the time the small improvements you make in material choice to solve problems might be better solved much of the time by a geometry change. Incrementally improving a middling design can be good, but often scrapping the middling design and taking a different approach can often be more effective.
