In Reply to: Order your wheels...

Just remember that only 8 of those wheels can be the same size.

: Anton,

: The wheels are 5 buck each yes? How many are you going
: to order?

: I suppose that you need to order at most 6 and at least
: 2. That means that you have a risk of 4 wheels or $20.

: Here is what I recommend:

: Order the wheels, if FIRST changes the rules to only
: allow 6 (and it WOULD be a change, because to me, the rules
: as written now clearly allow 10 -- 4 from the kit and 6
: more from the additional hardware list), find me in the
: pits at the Nationals in Florida, I will by your extra
: wheels from you. You get your money back and I get
: some more wheels for our stash in the gray cabinet in
: the corner. Everybody goes away happy and that will be
: that.

: Joe J.

: P.S. I see no reason for FIRST to change the rules, so
: I am sure that I will NOT be buying your wheels, but I
: am good for it in any case. I urge you do design your
: robot assuming that you have the 10 available. JJ
