The large "Cog" wheels were to climb up on the "puck" an 8" rolling platform that was at the center of that year's game. We talked about using large wheels again in 2004 for "raising the bar" and saw 69 do that with great success. 69 did not go to championships that year but had one of the best robots for the game I saw.
