Same thing happened for our team, last year and this year on our practice bot (has the 07 wheels from last year's practice bot... that's a lot of wear!) This year, we're prone to tipping right when we take the turns fast, and we just broke
another right wheel last night.
Let this be a hint to the hardware teams. Deliver that robot early and give the software and driving team time with the robot. IR3 has proven it can be done. - Doug Leppard [more]
