Low center of gravity is good and all, but have you considered how the added weight will effect your acceleration with this year's tight quarters on the field?

Wait, you wish your wheels were 2lb a piece? What are you using? Mecanums? If so you're not too far off at 2.5lb a piece..

I mean, 2lb isn't exactly light for a wheel

well we are using 4 KOP AndyMarks, and 2 IFI's not too much more but those Lexan wheels look sick

Is this a 3 piece wheel, or a single piece?
If it is a single piece, what are the lateral screws for.

Beautiful wheels guys.

The wheels are layers of polycarbonate. Solid one inch material is expensive. As far as the weight, 2 pounds is an estimate, so I will weigh one at the meeting tomorrow.

Ah, I see now. Looks like 5 layers right? 3 inner and two outer.

Nice lookin wheels. Though if you wanted them to weigh as much as possible steel is a nice and dense material...

Just in case you have not seen any of our robots before, we try to build as clear as possible.
