Go to Post If my counts are correct, during the official matches 141,077 points were scored, and a minimum of 28,746 frisbees were successfully shot into goals. All without a single decapitation, severed limb, or even one porpoise becoming accidentally entangled in the nets. - dlavery [more]

Ikillee is an unknown quantity at this point
Thanks everybody. We messed up our drive train after we cut it down to our custom configuration of 28"x27". The wheels were flat to the floor instead of having a slight tilt with the middle wheels as a pivot. This allows for better driving.

We decided we couldn't drill more holes because the difference was only 1/4". So the other solution was to put the 5" wheels in the middle to make up for it being flat.

We tried sticking the 6" wheel in the middle but the tilt was 2.5in off the ground which was way too much.

Re: 5" wheels

If it the AM14U, AndyMark should have the belt you need. By using different wheel sizes, the surface speeds of the wheels won't match up and one or both sets will suffer some degree of slipping. This will lead to excessive wear and energy loss.
