Off topic I know, but I have to.

THANK YOU, Dr. Joe and Ether for the education in this thread. I know that when I'm watching battery numbers on the FMS Monitor screen this season, this thread will come to mind as a way to help explain to teams why they are browning out on the field if their situation is similar, which I expect to see a LOT of.

I actually do have something on topic I guess. When making hub adapters, I played around with air pressure in the 8" Harbor Freight Red tires that we have and it was pretty amazing the change in circumference that a few pounds of air made. I can very easily see just increasing the center tire solving the issue by giving enough "rock".
