Re: Running FIRST robots on open road?

Our team has run a bot on pavement before. It's fine for the electronics, but it eats away at the wheels like nothing else. A way to make these last a little longer is to wrap duct tape around the wheels, then put a few rubber bands. The bands will save your tires a lot, but slow down the turning a fair bit. So if you're mainly going in a straight line, that would work fine.
