Re: wheeled robot club 2014
3260 almost went with wheels but we decided that cubes would make us significantly faster. We also considered hexagonal prisms but they ended up being too expensive.

Re: wheeled robot club 2014
Our team employs wheels, but we also invested in a weather balloon to truly achieve the "aerial" aspect of aerial assist. We simply hold the ball and float over the truss! not really, we just have a standard kit bot with wheels!

I might steal this for my standard response next time I get asked how many wheels my robot has. Scout Smarter, Not Harder.
