: What type of wheels are any of the teams planning to balance two bins using? I've looked at some of the pictures, and they look like standard wheelchair wheels. Our team had quite a bit of trouble with the traction of towing both goals up the ramp with standard wheels, we have since redesigned our wheels, but not without troubles. We are currently trying to figure out how not to shred the carpet. What types of wheels are you guys using?

We're just using the 8 inch wheelchair wheels, but we have no trouble at all dragging both goals up at the same time, (full goals, with the big balls too) weight is a big factor too, we're just under 130 right now
