Re: What do you use for wheels?

Last year we a pair of 13" tires. Very good traction. Year before that we used two 5 or 6 inch wide snowmobile tracks. The only problem with that is they weren't as long as we would have prefered. However, we could pull any other robot in the arena, even if it distroyed the carpet as long as we went straight forward or backwards. Got disqualified a few times. Any robot could drag us if they got ahold of the sides. Everyone at St. Lious started refering to us as the team with the cool tracks.
