That looks pretty cool. I'd ask on the Q&A though if it will pass Rule <R06>
| The ROVER WHEELS must be used in a “normal” orientation (i.e. with the tread of the wheel in contact with the ground, with the axis of rotation parallel to the ground and penetrating the wheel hub). |

It'd be interesting to see a robot with those, even if it wasn't legal.

We here at Exploding Bacon Laboratory's feel that we have really thunk outside the box on this one. Delivering a product that would make even Woody Flower's Grandmother proud. Talks are in place with reputable and well known robotics parts manufacturers to have these made and distributable by Week 2 of the season!
Look to place your orders soon and also look for more products to come out of Exploding Bacon Laboratory. Next products to be made available to the public may include but are not limited to, a 30 pound fly wheels for assisted turning, a 2.5 horse power vacuum gaining traction, and an exploded pig picker upper. ( Not intended for FIRST use but surprisingly the problem is not unique to 1902 )
As always Feedback and Comments on our products you can comment here or email us at explodingbaconlabs@gmail.com

He does a great job of "keeping it real" with whatever he talks about, no matter how random.

Back on topic, what's the estimated weight on these? I was debating a version of this myself, but the weight in my design was, well... Prohibitive, to say the least.

4 of those and the control system should leave you about enough extra weight to hold the whole thing together with a single zip tie. Make it happen I say.

Re: pic: 1902 Teaser 09
Great Idea! Our team had it too, but it is not legal.
There WILL be a point where one of the required wheels makes contact with the floor at an angle that is not in the correct, required orientation.

"required orientation"
did any one ASK Q and A about that cuz i am not sure that these cant be used.from the way i read it that would be like running the wheels on it's side not just on a angle like that? if no one has taken it to Q and A i may bring it up. ty plz get back to me

Re: pic: 1902 Teaser 09
is an omni directional wheel acceptable i think i saw that Mecanum wheels were okay but we thought that it would be to much money time and space that it would take so just wondering
