Wheels yes. We still can't get Breco flex to make a stronger track for us. so we are sticking to the wheels.

Now with our own design wheels I think we have made them stronger than the skyway wheels.


I still love the tank tracks just can't keep them on the robot. Until we find a new source for them. we will stick to the wheels

Team 1684 out of lapeer michigan is as well using suction cup. We are useing it to pick up the Tubes. We have our design down, and it looks like it should work. Also, if anyone has any extra suction cups they don't want or pneumatics compreesors, or anything like that, We would be happy to take them off your hands. Just PM me if you can

I'm guessing Acquisition of tubes.
I was thinking of that after kickoff..I suggested it to our coach (Dylan) and somehow in technical terms he shut me down
