Re: Can We Use a Bicycle Tire and Rim?

Bicycle wheels are definately strong enough to hold up a robot, especially when the weight is divided upon all 4 wheels. Depending on the wheel, they can be strong on side loads too.

Why are you choosing a bik wheel for a shooting device though? Most wheels are free spinning, and most back wheels from bikes have coaster hubs. Unless this is part of a secret strategy...
