Re: Our tread

Our middle wheel is down enough to see a noticeable shift of gravity when we bring a tetra from one side (approx. 30-55 degree angle) to the other side (approx. 60-85 degree angle).
Thank you for your help everyone, good luck to you all at your competitions, hope to see you at nationals if my team goes.
and if the carpet is finer than i thought it was, it should be good.

Also, you may consider changing two or four of the wheels back to just normal tread the way they come.

Last, I think the competition carpet is finer and slicker than most carpet of the same pile I've seen.
