Keep weight on wheels or you'll be sorry

Last year we had studs on our wheels as a means of
making up for lack of weight on our wheels. If you
have an excited driver you can easily start tearing up
the carpet. We did okay in our FIRST competitions, but
in the after-glow competitions with less experienced
drivers we shreaded some carpet (sorry hosts). I doubt
we would have been able to keep the studs had this
happened in a real FIRST competition.

Read Dodd Stacy's message on tires and FIRST's
rules/tests from a few days ago.
