How can we drive on this new floor?

[pacoliketaco]

although my team has already bought some of the flooring, we have yet to test it out. hopefully soon we will be able to retrofit an old robot to make use of the new wheels. i think that practice is really going to make a difference this year.

on a separate note, ive read a lot of posts about driving this year, but no one yet (as i have seen) has brought this up:

from rule regarding wheels (i dont remember the number)
...a “normal” orientation (i.e. with the tread of the wheel in contact with the ground, with the axis of rotation parallel to the ground and penetrating the wheel hub)...

if you ask me, we dont have to have the wheels spinning in a circular orbit. by building a hub that allows the rotation of the wheel to be offset from the center, a different driving stlye would result. im not sure if this would help at all, or be legal for that matter, it just seemed interesting.
