Re: LAST Wheel question
I'm going to just put this out there really quickly. Don't use the beadlocks ever on a robot. FIRST once gave them out with the kit and they just ruined a lot of teams that were forced to use one of the worst wheels(for FIRST Robots) you can find. They're big but have a small traction area, if you grind them down you'll find that they aren't tough at all and will wear away any tread you do cut into them.

The pneumatics on the other hand are great! The big 8" were used on the strongest robot my team has ever built back in 2002 and still haven't been able to top. We are trying to best it this year with tank treads but who knows, they're pretty great.
