I found the tires you were refferring to...
I'm just wondering:
What kind of Coeff. of Friction did you get with those on carpet?
Somewhere in the 1.2-1.5 range?

Or... what kind of linear pushing force was your robot able to exert on the carpet?

Inquiring minds want to know!
(We're looking at better tire options for 2004)

Thanks,
John
