Re: How do you drive the KOP 6" wheels?
On SwampThing we used .5" shaft with the 6" wheels we turned delrin adapters for them and used spring pins. However in finals at UCF a pin sheared and Pretty much crippled it for a match. had it not failed we would have won that match and possibly the regional. The problem was fixed on the fly By James Jones of 180 by drilling a hole through it all and then using the drill bit he drilled it with it to hammer into the hole he made as a codder pin. As for the 6" wheels they are excellent wheels especially after they have been used for a while then they have a flat tread and are in their prime. they aren't very great for traction but that is perfect for 4 wheel drive. we were second seed at UCF and undefeated Winners of the Robot rodeo.
