Re: Summer Project 3 - Omni/traction wheel diameter dilemma
We used the standard rough top tread from Vex.
Keep in mind that some of the rubber part of the tread fits inside the wheel edges (from the picture I see you are aware of this) and that the tread will get compressed a bit by the weight of the robot.
As I recall there were a few discussions when this dimensions was being determined.
.. I took a look at your image and it does not appear you have the tread fully seated in the rim all the way around.
Did you loosen the bolts holding the two side together, then lay in the tread and retighten the two halves together?
Where are you getting the dimension for the 6" traction wheel?

After further recall, we ended up deciding that the traction wheel with tread has a radius of 3.125 and the Omni as 3.00.
