Re: Improving the KOP Skyway wheels

We tried in 2005 but couldn't find a way. We must have broken the 6-8 we had in the 2 regionals we went to. I know you say cost is an issue but have you looked at buying their pneumatics? They don't beak easily and you could in fact reuse them for a 2-3 years before the tread wears off.

Re: Improving the KOP Skyway wheels

Step 1: build practice/demonstration/programming robot that won't see combat.
Step 2: install Skyway wheels on said robot
Step 3: purchase Colson wheels
Step 4: machine aluminum hubs for Colson wheels
Step 5: install colson wheels with custom hubs on actual FRC robot.
