Re: COTS Parts made just for FIRST Robots

This is one big thing I've been thinking about....

I'd like to see machined aluminum wheels with tread material, like so many teams made this year (60, 217, 229, 254, etc.)

Maybe two versions, one with a keyed hole and one with bearings

And of course a way to mount sprockets to both

Various thicknesses and diameters


And for the price....around what it would cost to buy wheelchair wheels, hubs and tread....and it would have to weigh less to make it justifiable.



Maybe also some sort of arm transmission with similar reduction to the double kit gearbox, just smaller/lighter.
