Go to Post Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR). BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers. ... BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape. I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance. - Nate Laverdure [more]

Re: Wheel size considerations

My team is discussing 4WD... 8" wheels and with the 29" wheelbase that we want, I just went through the calculations, and our robot will make a MAX 24.443 degree angle with the playing surface...
that is ALOT less that I had originally thought!

I dont think huge wheels would make any better improvement on this...
