Re: What kind of wheels do you use?

It all depends on the game. Our team has used pneumatic wheels, omniwheels (both custom built and COTS), and the solid 6.75" 'wheel chair' style wheels. Last year when we were six wheel drive using the 6.75's, we modified the center two wheels by machining a channel into the wheels and gluing in conveyor belt tread for extra traction.
