pic: Dented IFI Wheel

[Jeff K.]

That picture was the only problem that we've had with these wheels at competition. Haha and Dan, you're right, I am sometimes too aggressive for my own good, but we were able to outpush any robot out there and we're very pleased with the wheels. We still were able to drive the robot and it didn't affect its performance. The dent is around the middle of the picture, where there is a slight blur. Sorry for it being of bad quality, it was from my camera phone

We had another problem before this though and it was partially due to the chain on the sprockets being too tight. It would squeeze the sprocket off alignment, and so we fixed that by using the 3/8" ID bearings since they are the same OD as the hole in the sprocket and so it is supported that way. Adds some weight but fixed the problem.

All in all, we're more than pleased with the IFI wheels and chances are, we'll use them in the future.
