Go to Post I am surprised at the relative conservative capability you described on our 2006 machine. As for the 2007 machine, in anticipation of an aquatic game, we have completed a robot that "walks on water" and are well along with one that can "part the sea". - Bill Beatty [more]

Re: pic: IFI-WHEEL v2

For those of you who had trouble with keeping tread attached we had a solution to this. Use rivets with oversized heads. I believe McMaster calls them big head rivets. Once we swtched we never popped a tread again, and to be honest the one we popped was user error on installation (aka: my fault).

From what I can see IFI incorporated many of the suggestions that were made over the course of the season which is good to see. I thought they did an excellent job of listening to teams that made direct constructive comments and suggestions and seemed like they really did want to improve the product.
