Re: pic: BEASTBOT 2016 Robot
are those WEELEZE wheels?
If so, we used 6 of them.
Didn't think anyone else was using them.
Good luck
here is something to think about. Those polyurethane wheels make GREAT static insulators. They allow a LARGE static charge to build up on your bot. We had many comm loss problems that were never completely resolved. It always happened when we were just starting to cross a defense, never when crashing over a defense or smashing into another bot. One time, while on a practice field we heard a loud snap of static discharge as we crossed a defense. We are beginning to believe at least some of our issues were static discharge related.
My suggestion to you is to drag some kind of static discharge material around that is connected to your chassis so it bleeds off that static charge and does not allow it to build up.
