Not sure. Where do you think you've seen it?

He means the wheels and the position of the robot, same as ours. Did you guys also use the harbor freight tires and slice the rims to make the tires seal to the AM hubs?

We ended up keeping the HF rims, milling out the bearing hub and having some replacement hubs waterjet cut that uses the bolt pattern of the HF rims and a 1/2" hex hole. One hub on each side of the rims. We're really happy with these tires/hubs, they fit the sweet spot for our drivetrain between the AM tires and some 10" tires we tried.

As far as I know (being the programming mentor, and not mechanical :-P ), we used the same hubs that they came with (yes, the same Harbor Freight wheels), but we had to make custom covers to size up to the hex shaft (if that makes sense).
