In 2013 Team 118 used two part molded wheels with molded tread on their robot Apex. They also used molded wheels in 2012 with the tread molded directly to the body of the wheel. The 2013 wheel was an iteration designed so that when they wore out the soft tread they didn't have to replace the whole wheel. They used Task 3 urethane from smooth-on for the body of the wheel and two different types of urethane rubber for the tread.
Adding an ounce or two of shields is way easier than filling out the mountains of paperwork for that one impatient person to stick their arm into the robot reaching for who knows what only to have their fingers meet up close and personal with a gearbox. - artdutra04 [more]
