shooter wheel tread types
We have a shooter that uses 2 8" AM FIRST wheels with the standard urethane rubber treads on a rotating 55 degree LA turrent. We spin it up from 300 to 3K RPM using PID control of 2 FP 0673 (6:1) and 2 AM 9015 (4.64:1) motors. It works quite well but we keep tweaking the performance on a practice bot (typical engineers!).
I searched and did not find much discussion about using different wheel treads on an otherwise working shooter. Has anyone tried something like AM plaction wheels with wedge-top or rough-top tread? Does it help/hurt?
Opinions, suggestions?
TIA
