After much off-season work, years of thought, testing and prototyping, team 233 has chosen these wheels for our robot this year.

Truly a work of art! What coefficient of friction do you get with them, on textured gelcoated fiberglass, for example?

ThermalAny certain reason you guys decided to go with these wheels over your regular KOP wheels or AM Plactions?
Tis' an interesting choice, do tell the benefits!

nuggetsylIts a funny angle because they do not look as wide in the pic. But it could also be the lack of sleep i am getting.

Wow, what an innovative solution! I can guarantee that no other team will have wheels like that
At first when I saw the title of this, I was debating whether it meant two hundred and thirty three wheel, or the wheels belonging to FRC 233.

hillaledoes anyone else wish they gave you the option of different sized rover wheels?

Josh GoodmanNO WAY! We have the same ones! I feel truly proud to be sharing the same wheels with 233

Given that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," I am sure that you will be quite flattered to know that many, many teams will be copying your wheel design.

bduddyHuh-I always thought they had "corners" between the sidewalls and flat "tread", like the old ones. I'm guessing this change is to provide a smaller contact patch, therefore generating less friction?

Doug LeppardIf these wheels are good enough for Pink they are good enough for Exploding Bacon. It is a gamble but Pink is never wrong, we are going with those wheels also.
Thanks for the heads up.

Here is my obligatory sarcastic yet mildly funny comment.

For the right price, I'm sure AndyMark would do a special run with non-friction dye in the material.

jsasakiisn't that just the regular 2009 KOP wheel that you can use or do you get options
