Re: Reducing wheel traction
my team has been having the same problem with turning. the solution that we came up with at the philadelpia regional was to use tie wraps covered by pneumatic tubing. we drilled holes in the sides of two of our beadlock wheels, fed the tie wraps through a few inches of tubing, and secured them by looping them around the tires and through the holes. we figured the judges wouldnt mind them as much since the tubing is smooth and wont damage the field. they allowed it, but they also told us that putting anything over the wheels will not be allowed at championships (nats; im trying to get out of the habit of saying that). it worked alright but it is just a temporary fix and we will probably consider replacing our wheels or something.
