Re: Pneumatic Wheels
I don't recall seeing the popped tire, but I can tell you from some measured traction testing we did for various teams at nationals 3 years ago, pneumatic tires had better traction on the carpet by far than stock solid rubber tires. Brekoflex belts showed the best, followed pretty closely by the diamond web belting from McMaster Carr.
If you're going with stock wheels, I'd say go pneumatics although we don't have any experience with them. If custom, go with the diamond belts because of cost and lead time. And if you've got the time and money and want to kick everyone else's butt, go with Brekoflex.
3 guesses what we're using.
