Re: Why such large wheels?

We went with 8" wheels for the reason you first stated; we need the clearance.

Had it been a different game, I would have wanted to go with smaller wheels, maybe 4". This leaves more room for other things on the robot chassis, and there really isn't any reason I can think of to use larger wheels if you don't need to clear a ramp.
