Truly a work of art! What coefficient of friction do you get with them, on textured gelcoated fiberglass, for example?

Re: pic: 233 Wheels
Any certain reason you guys decided to go with these wheels over your regular KOP wheels or AM Plactions?

Tis' an interesting choice, do tell the benefits!

Re: pic: 233 Wheels
Its a funny angle because they do not look as wide in the pic. But it could also be the lack of sleep i am getting.

Re: pic: 233 Wheels
Wow, what an innovative solution! I can guarantee that no other team will have wheels like that

At first when I saw the title of this, I was debating whether it meant two hundred and thirty three wheel, or the wheels belonging to FRC 233.

hmmm...I wonder if acetal/delrin would accept a dye bath like some other plastics will. Without changing the characteristics of the wheel anyway outside of the rules of course

Re: pic: 233 Wheels
Given that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," I am sure that you will be quite flattered to know that many, many teams will be copying your wheel design.

Re: pic: 233 Wheels
Huh-I always thought they had "corners" between the sidewalls and flat "tread", like the old ones. I'm guessing this change is to provide a smaller contact patch, therefore generating less friction?

For the right price, I'm sure AndyMark would do a special run with non-friction dye in the material.

And posted by ducttapedude - 233 is right on the cutting edge of FRC technology this year.
