8" Pnumatic Wheels @ Andymark soldout

[MrForbes]

You didn't catch the 10" pneumatic wheels on sale at Harbor freight this weekend? I picked up six of them, $4 each. They require hub work, as mentioned. But they might only be needed at the front of the robot, so we need to get busy prototyping and see what we can come up with.

what are you planning on doing with those steel hubs?
How much do each of them weigh?

[MrForbes]

They're heavy. The steel hubs have a tube on one side, I think it's 1-3/8" id. I was pondering whether we could weld a small steel hub onto the tube, and bolt a common robot sprocket to the hub. Or maybe press a longer tube into the existing tube. Or see how they work as unpowered wheels, going over the defenses. It's all conjecture at this early stage.

I know this is an AndyMark thread, but we have these available:

We will have pictures of hubs up today along with a full wheels assembled. Also we currently are 1/6 of our total "inventory" sold and have a decent amount of diamond tread available & zigzag tread available.

those look like a viable option as well
Got any idea what the durometer rating of the tread is?

Off hand I do not, If I'd have to guess somewhere around 60-75 ish. I'll email our supplier and find out and post the info here/to our site.

[Bruceb]

looking on the web for tires there seems to be lots of choices.
It's the hubs that will get you.

[techhelpbb]

If any team looking for these AndyMark tires are near these locations:

Atlanta/Greater Marietta
Northest Ohio/Mayfield Heights

Those 2 Microcenters each claim to have a box containing 2 of these.
Please put them on 18 minute pickup before you try to pick them up to be sure they really are in inventory.
They will likely be on clearance.

Ahem - there were more of them - SOMEONE - put the rest in my barn.

[Chief Hedgehog]

I just ordered 4 of the AM 0970 this morning and there wasn't any note on a delay.

Maybe they just found a few boxes in the back? I hope so, because I would like to get them in soon!

I was looking at these yesterday for our team, but decided to go with the Andymark wheels for two reasons.
1. I knew they had stock
2. They were easier for sprocket mounting

I suggest you update your website to show these as in stock. I would also confirm whether these could be used with your wheels:

Hi Derek,

We will show these in stock once they are kitted & ready to go. We also updated the site with lead times so customers can see when they will be shipping. Let me double check today, I have an AndyMark hub handy and will get back to you. I believe that those hubs work with our Tires + Tubes for customers who want dead axle, those will be an excellent choice.

The hubs we sell are specially designed for VersaChassis like setups and/or live axle drivetrains.

Back in the olden days we purchased from Colson. Might not have the size you want, but remember them as a backup.

R.C., did you confirm that the AM hubs, am-2469, will fit your 6" pneumatic tires?

HI Terry

I totally forgot about replying to this thread. But our diamond tread tire will work with the AM hub, the zigzag tread will not. I would advise teams that use the am hub to buy a low profile tire fill gauge as ours did not fit.

[The Doctor]

Just putting in my two cents, our team found them in stock from Amazon.
