Its not always a trade off for Maneuverability or traction. Often teams solve this with plastic front wheels that will slide sideways. This works but the plastic wheels don't give the best traction.

Actually as long as the front wheels aren't powered you shouldn't have a problem with what you choose for them. The only wheels that really need to have good traction are powered ones.

Can't give away exact details, but with our tires our only concern even on the top is will we have to much traction oh and i dare any of you to try and push us off the top, even if we don't build anything else to keep us up there

I'd like to see that conserding how a 190pound person with rubber sneakers on still manages to slide around on that plastic stuff.

Herrmmm.... well.. there is no arguing that the Tread system is the BEST traction out there,

Actually there are other ways to increase traction but none that would really be usefull in this competition due to the rules constraints. I've read about using vaccuum pumps and making your own wheels to increase traction.

It is not necessary to draw 200 amps to move a robot through a two minute match. Rule of thumb is you robot should be able to compete for three matches without a battery change. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
