Re: pic: MORE Robotics 1714 Polycarb Wheels
I have to agree with Craig, there are definite acceleration issues when you increase the weight of a wheel. This happens because the added weight resists motion and will fight you every time you try to change your direction of rotation or speed of rotation. This means slower to get up to speed, slower to stop, and more force on everything that powers the wheel including the chain and axles.
I like the creativity to get the center of gravity lower, but I really think you should bring alternative wheels if these give you too much troubles in competition.
