I think I have found the common link between you breaking your wheels and us breaking ours, we broke one wheel when teamed up with 233 in our last qualifying match then broke a couple of spokes when we were teamed up with them in eliminations. My conclusion, sky way wheels don't hold up in pink light, thus the reflections off 233's shirts caused the spokes to weaken.

(more likely it is the fact that we both mixed wheels (sky way and non sky way and then put used andy marks resulting in awesome amounts of tourque, what wheels did you use other than those, all the pictures on CD look like you used IFI tractions.

Well our robot has been through three stages all due to wheels.

We started all IFI.. that uhh well didn't work out... see other posts.

We then converted to IFI/Skyway purely kit version that worked better until the we dented the ifi wheels and they went kaboom.

We then converted to all Skyway high traction conversion that a bunch of people had steered us towards. We went through all of Houston, and all of atlanta withouth throwing a single chain or having any problems at all until in the semi finals on Archimedes Oink Oink KABOOOM.
