Wheel Hub Connectors for Skyway Wheels

In the past few years one of FIRST suppliers has offered premade plastic hub inserts for the Skyway wheels. I thought it was Small Parts but they don't appear anywhere on their website. Skyway isn't showing them either. Anybody know the source and whether they are still available?

THere is an extra section in the manual that contains extra parts that are not in the regular Small Parts manuals. Appendix D

Looking at it the part # is
FIR-DC01 Wheel hub kit for 2 wheels

The coupler for the BOSCH drill is
FIR-DC02


Hope that helps
Matt

The wheel mounts and drill motor couplers were supplied by Small Parts. I hope that someone will at least post a design so that teams can build these, if they aren't supplied.

In our first year, they were not available and we had all manner of difficulties with mounting the drill motor to the wheels. I think many other teams had these same problems, hence the couplers.

We actually made a hub piece last year so that we could use the skyway wheels. We knocked out the bearings and machined some of the spokes down to give us flush surfaces. Although I made the parts on a rotary table, they can mostly be done on a lathe with a template for the hole pattern made on a mill.

If anyone is interested, I'll try to pull up the drawings and post them.

Then again, who knows? We may not have drill motors or skyway wheels in the kits this year.

I too confer that they were supplied by SPI and they usually were listed on a supplement to their catalog in the kit of materials.

I received the email blast about the new supplier, but does that mean that Small-Parts inc. is no longer a sponsor??

They are not our main supplier any more. MSC took their place. I dont know if they will still be affiliated with FIRST. Anyone else know?

I'm actually glad to see Small Parts go. They are *nifty*, but I wince at their prices and this little "exclusive deal" they had with FIRST had made them... well, IMHO arrogant. They *lost* 2 of our orders last year, and we had REALLY crappy customer service from them. Personally, I never would buy anything from them for my team EVER AGAIN - if they were our "official" supplier this year, I would have bought parts elsewhere after verifying that it's in the SP catalog.

Question Extra Hubs?

Does any team have any extra hubs they are willing to part with?


**Also I spoke with Small Parts on the phone and the hub kit is no longer available.

The hubless sprockets which pair to the hubs are still available, though I couldn't find them listed in the catalog online.

Talking hubs for caster wheel

It is probably best that they are no longer available. The traction requirements of this and last year's game pretty much rule out using those caster wheels. Order some keyed bearing hubs on your choice of skyway wheels. Order some keyed roller chain sprockets from MSC and you don't need to mount a sprocket to the wheel hub. Much better mechanically and much easier to mount and change out sprockets.
