No load means no load. The robot is on jack stands. If radius drops out here, then it's not coming back as the model becomes more complicated.
The bottom line is that an increase in rotational inertia of large wheels alone is not a valid reason to choose smaller wheels. It is an increase in total mass of the robot or (EDIT) increase in rotational inertia attributed to (END EDIT) mass distribution (EDIT) and mass (END EDIT) of the wheels that contributes to any performance degradation. These and all of the other excellent reasons cited in this thread push for smaller wheels.
This is far more then any little school extracurricular, this is a FIRST Robotics Team. - onecoolc [more]
