Not pretty

I'm thinking Baltic Birch wheels with riveted Roughtop tread for production, or whatever wood you can find for prototyping in the meantime. You could make them whatever diameter you wanted to, however wide you wanted to, and it would be one solid wheel.

This also shows the rest of us that the BB wheels probably wouldn't hold up very long in an overall FRC season for a defensive-type bot.

What durometer of polyurethane were you guys using? That looks soft enough that you could just peel it off if you wanted....

[Brandon Holley]

I believe the orange colored urethane from banebots signifies a shore 30A durometer.

//its shore 40A see below

probably around 80lbs of weight on module, cordless drill powering it

Held the setup still and spun the wheel on carpet seeing how the wheels would handle it
after around 2 seconds stopped and this is the result

"Black PP Core, Medium Orange 40 Shore A TPR Tread" From the BaneBots website.

I wonder if the Blue 50 Shore A would do any better. Also, isn't 80 pounds a but much for one module?

Yeah it is, but even then seeing it die in this fashion convinced us to no longer mess with the banebots wheels.
Kinda a safety factor test and they failed
