Re: What wheels is your team using???

So far this year, we've gone with just 4 KOP "sticky" wheels. Now that today we got the robot actually working and driving around, kicking and not-quite-lifting, we realized 4 sticky wheels isn't going to cut it, with too much traction impeding our ability to turn (something I brought up way early in the season, but no one had cared).

Right now the plan is that Monday we'll replace two of them with "slick" wheels (the thought process is that they'll be front-left and back-right, or whichever two diagonal corners were the heaviest). I think that will make it drive awesome.
