I'll choose door number two, Bob.

The 2nd one is sweet. The 1st one has too many holes in it - It looks like swiss cheese.

::Edit:: Those treads look familiar. Our wheels are gonna be more pimp than yours, though

the one on the right...

I agree the one on the right.
I wish those were a little bigger i would put them on my Exploder

Arefin Bari · #5 31-01-2005, 07:02

2nd one john!

David Guzman · #6 31-01-2005, 07:20

IN MY OPINION, THE SECOND ONE IS DEFENETLY BETTER BECAUSE THE FIRST ONE LOOKS LIKE IF YOU HAD MADE HOLES TO REDUCE WEIGHT AND THE ONE ON THE RIGHT LOOKS REALLY COOL.

Again, the one on the right just loook cooler.

Andy Baker · #8 31-01-2005, 08:29

the one on the right

They need to be green anodized, and then assembled with yellow anodized spinners. ... and then, on the spinners, you can etch "JVN is a dweeb".

That would be cool.

Those look familiar

Although we welded our flange onto the purchased rims. I assume you milled these. BEAUTIFUL! I'm a right winger myself. I see you riveted the seams on. We found some incredible glue to hold that on without any mechanical fasteners. I was asked not to divulge, but I'll give a hint - shoe repair.

Adrienne E. · #10 31-01-2005, 09:40

I agree with Andy

Dan,

The reason we went with rivets instead of adhesive is for ease of changing tread at competition. All we have to do is drill out 4 rivets and pop 4 more back in to the new tread. We have tried adhesives in the past and the problem is usually drying time and excess glue on the wheel when changing tread. If you have found a glue which works well, that is excellent.

The wheel on the left looks familiar to me for some reason, John...

Did my 2004 wheels mate, have deformed kids with 2 extra mounting holes, and then sell their offspring to you on the black market?

Sexy wheels, man... no matter which you go with.

If JVN did that then maybe his robot could be a showcase item on "Pimp My Robot"

But, wouldn't spinners add a little too much weight for what they are worth, but hey that's an IRI idea for teams to do!

Justin Baier · #14 31-01-2005, 13:26

I think the right one is waaay cooler. But then again, our team colors are orange and blue...

I really like the one on the right. It looks awesome. How long did it take to machine those monsters?
