Re: Wheels - Plywood
As a followup to Raul's comment, make sure they're study no matter if another robot can hit them or not. If a robot hits the side of your robot and your wheels are grippy and don't slip sideways, it'll still be damaging. And keep in mind that your robot is going to have to run your robot through atleast 6 rounds at a regional, possibly more. Design for the duration, or make a lot of spare wheels.

Re: Wheels - Plywood
Its not so much the problem of sturdiness , its just that there are many regulations in america about wood and stuff and we have to spend a ton of money to get a new crate built for our robot and then more money to get a certificate for it. We have used ply wood wheels in the past with good success, as we have a way of moulding rubber to it (dont ask me, all i know is that we can)
