Whegs, PID, and climbing

[phrontist]

Thanks for the pic of the Tri-Wheels, but I'm still looking for whegs

The link doesn't seem to work it always says Cannot find server...ne ways what is whegs? oblong wheels or something

[Max Lobovsky]

They are basically just three-spokes-without-a-rim-for-a-wheel. I'm not exactly sure why everyone finds them so interesting. Can't the exact same thing be done with a wheel with large lateral treads? (like the paddle treaded tires that monster trucks and such use for very loose terrain)

You might be thinking of 1218- we didn't have triwheels..


I'm not 100% sure of what a wheg is, but team 16 had a awesome cam system (metal plate) that would lift them off the ground and on the platform, it looks like something that could be called a wheg, so...
