Re: Any ideas about best way to attach treads to AndyMarks?

We all remember how fun that was. Our treads started falling off in the semifinals at Davis, and we were pretty much useless for the next three elimination rounds.

If you choose to use rivits, I would suggest that you drill a few holes in additinon to the ones that come on the wheels so that you can stick in more rivets. This seemed to do a good job of fixing our tread loss problems.
