We are using 4" mecanum. And I'm not entirely trolling you.

Re: Wheel size/type-Poll

Flying for the win!


But in all seriousness, I believe we're using 6 to 8" pneumatic wheels.

Re: Wheel size/type-Poll

4 8" pneumatics, 4 8" 2010 smooth rubber wheels in pairs and 2 6" treaded wheels. Only the pneumatic wheels are powered though.

Might throw on some 4" treaded wheels for good measure.

Can't wait to unveil our AT-AT robot drivetrain! Just need to fine tune the "kneel down and crawl under the low bar" routine.

Re: Wheel size/type-Poll

That 207 setup does look really nice, reminds me of a rc truggy, there robots are always amazing. I don't know about suspensions looking crude though especially when these guys are your new sponsors http://www.rosta.ch/index.php?lang=2.
