Re: Wheels
The only reason I can see that you'd want slick wheels for this game, is to use two of them on a long wheelbase 4WD robot, so it is reasonably easy to steer it.
I can think of better solutions, mostly involving the use of more wheels, and aranging them in a clever way. Traction is a good thing. Turning ability is a good thing. Finding the right compromise might take some experimentation. Last edited by MrForbes : 19-01-2010 at 10:37. |

Re: Wheels
I Agree. Sticky wheels so far just seem like the obvious Choice. I just want to find someone who is chosing to use slick and find out why so i get a better picture of both sides.

Re: Wheels
 2389 decide to go with sticky wheels because it has more pros than cons compared to slick wheels.Last edited by Jordan2389Diaz : 19-01-2010 at 11:22. |

slick wheels are good for a robot that is chattering when it turns.... It would still be MUCH better to design a robot that doesn't rely on slick wheels to turn, especially in a year like this when TRACTION IS KEY... |
