Re: AndyMark Plaction Wheels
We hit this issue in the hour before shipping the robot. (We also sheared the bolts off one of the drive wheels and noticed the other drive wheels bolts were bent, but that's another story...).

We tried holding it on with tape just so we could practise prior to shipping, but it kept slipping out.

We had some spare wheels, so we changed them out at GSR prior to competition. These lasted a while (I think we were being careful) but by the end of Friday we had lot a tread again. We got it back together for Saturday, but lost the tread again in the next match.

Prior to crating it ready for Atlanta, we managed to get a couple of wheels ready, using contact glue on the tread AND rivets. Hopefully this will hold. Otherwise I'll either cry or just go home.

Ok, maybe not.. it's a long flight..
