Re: Help with finding 6 inch pneumatic wheels with a plastic hub

Is it essential that you use pneumatic wheels?

I would highly suggest Colson Performa caster wheels especially because of this new product http://wcproducts.net/wcp-00052/ + http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/BPDWC17.html

Or I would suggest you look into Skyway bead-lok wheels. These wheels are used by teams such as 25 and 2016 has used them as well. http://www.skywaywheels.com/products_002.htm

Re: Help with finding 6 inch pneumatic wheels with a plastic hub

We're looking to get controllable pressure (so we can do the fake dropped center for turning) and the cushioning effects of pneumatics, in addition to the additional traction. This is why we have not looked at Colson or the Bead-Lok line, or at semi-pneumatic wheels.

Thanks everyone for their input so far, though!

Re: Help with finding 6 inch pneumatic wheels with a plastic hub

If it helps any with your sizing plans,
the 8" pneumatic wheels we have from AndyMark actually measure 7.5".
