thats when your team develops "wonderwheels", like ours did. not only do they reduce drag when turning which loads up motors, the also effectively move your pivot point to the opposite end of the bot, making manuevers around balls for pick up much quicker. they also improve all around traction on the carpet as they actually are grooved to close to the same pitch as the carpet used on the field. You can take a look at various pics posted on the web of these "wonderwheels" or take a look at them in the pits at nationals.....see you there
