Re: [FTC]: Can I add non-slip material to 4" Tetrix Wheels?

I think we have a prototype for one side of our new drive system.

The washers under the motor mounts will be replaced with 3/16"x1/2" spacers, the shoulder bolts will get shortened 3/4" (eliminating the Al spacers currently outside the wheel), and the lengths of the bolts securing the motor mounts to the channel will get sized properly. We'll reinforce the channel near the wheel mount area.

We put press-in bearings in the hubs of the AM Hi-Grips, which ride on the shoulder bolts. Its very smooth. Overall, everything spins pretty well.

These two motors will get connected to one channel of the motor controller and we'll duplicate everything to the other side onto the other channel.

Are we headed in the right direction?

Thanks!
