Re: pic: Custom VEX Traction Wheel Rim
Looks sweet and all but, too bad the little vex motors can't handle much.

Re: pic: Custom VEX Traction Wheel Rim
Why not just gear multiple vex motors together for the drivetrain?

Re: pic: Custom VEX Traction Wheel Rim
If we make it thick enough, the plastic from the 3D printer is pretty strong. The problem with this though is that we're going to have to make a few spares in case something happens, and it will probably take about 6 or more hours per wheel... That is assuming the thing actually works...
