Re: Using plaction wheels on a roller claw
What color banebots wheels would anyone suggest? Does it matter? I read something about the wheels being different based on color. Also, what size would one recommend?

Thanks!

Softness. Green is softest, blue is hardest.

I saw Blue, Green and Orange used in various claws and there didn't seem to be a noticeable difference between the three. Personally, we chose Orange because it went best with our color scheme.

Re: Using plaction wheels on a roller claw
We considered Banebots wheels but ultimately chose Vex wheels...they definitely had the best grip characteristics on the tubes.

Which VEX wheels would you suggest? Any specifics? Could you provide a link, and why you chose them?

Re: Using plaction wheels on a roller claw
We used the variety linked below....we chose them based on a subjective analysis of grippyness on the tubes. Plus they're low cost and we were able to push a 3/8" hex broach through them with relative success.

Re: Using plaction wheels on a roller claw
Thanks.

It was featured prominently in the Michigan State Championship footage that was produced. We lost in the finals.

I'm sure there are some clips on youtube....

I just uploaded a clip of our practice robot doing a two tube auton....

Re: Using plaction wheels on a roller claw
Ok, so after some discussion with my team, we are down to three final options: banebots wheels, VEX wheels, OR rollerblade wheels. A team mate suggested the latter and we found that they were quite effective. So, what do you all think is the best and most grippy?

All input is greatly appreciated!
