Pneumatic tires
Team 121 used those 6'' tires this year and last year, and there are many advantages and disadvantages with them.
The tires wore out pretty fast for us last year because we often gotten in tugging contest for a goal. When the wheels are turning but the robot isn't it will cause it to go bald almost immediately. Last year in 9 competitions we had to replace it 4 times I believe. This year however is somewhat different, and we actually have a pretty good tread left after practice and the BAE Regional.
The one thing I hate about those wheels however is that changing the tread only is impossible because after you change it, it weakens the bushing that holds the shaft, and tends to want to come out of the wheel.
