If we only use a few feet of it, the AM price may be better for BoM purposes.

Online Metals will happily sell you a foot for $2.87 (or 6 for $12.75), so I can't see a scenario where AndyMark is the low cost provider. For some teams where ordering anything in a reasonable amount of time is a herculean task they are certainly the most convenient provider though.

I'm going to assume it's for international teams.

Well, I think the most conclusive evidence that tank treads will not be required for FIRST Stronghold is the fact that the robot in the teaser video appears to have an 8WD, not treads.

I'm still surprised that none of the robots in 2013 were 2WD, as the game animation indicated.

I guess you'll need to fix that.

I'd expect one wheel from you...

[marshall]

You don't need wheels!

[Lil' Lavery]

That whole thing is a wheel.

What exactly is Euroboard? And why are all the new wheels' CoFs measured on Euroboard?

That was a joke. Euroboard is/was the floor for the FTC field.

New wheels because supply and demand.

Euroboard is a painted aluminum composite panel. We list a CoF on that kind of surface because we expect to see it used as a drive wheel in FIRST Tech Challenge robots more than as a drive wheel for FIRST Robotics Competition teams.

There's a lot of updates were still making so its likely you'll see more information being added over the upcoming weeks.

I discovered that I can access the old website by getting a 404 error on Andymark, and the links on it still works!
