What do you use for wheels?

[Bill Gold]

Our wheels change depending on our robot strategy and design. In 1999 and 2000 we used the 8" wheelchair wheels. In 2001 we used the 6" wheelchair wheels. In 2002 we built aluminum wheels that were 5.5" in diameter and 2" wide that we attatched belting material to. In 2003 we built aluminum wheels that were 6" in diameter and 1.25" wide that we attatched belting material to. We'll decide on wheel diameter and width, or tank tread width for 2004 the first week of the build period.
