We 3D printed several sets of 6' star wheels and tested them on our practice field. They work as advertised consistently, we're able to deploy a hanging arm from the top section without touching the bottom ot the hanging rack and get back down without incident. We used 3M VHB tape we got during FRC to put a gripping "tread onto the star "tips" to not tear up the field. We experimented with using Plasi-Dip on our smaller wheels. It works ok but the size of the wheels makes up the difference. We experimented with several types of "tip covers". Right now the VHB tape works the best, does not scuff the smooth floor and not tear up the soft foam tile. We also went to a smaller rear wheel with the larger star on the front. We'll see how things work out when we get our hubs, larger wheels and 60 motors.
