This is just sick. I've admired these products since they were put on the market, but never gotten to use them. If you cut a pattern in the Colsons like GUS 228 does, I don't think there is any wheels better for FRC.

Drive looks awesome. Is it just me, or does it drift just a bit when driving 'straight?' A prototype that I worked on last season had a similar problem and we found that one of the wheels was misaligned. (Oddly enough, colsons have a distinct way of drifting to one side it seems)

(Oddly enough, colsons have a distinct way of drifting to one side it seems) Check out this picture: http://team228.org/gallery/141/slide...f667-6fb2d.jpg That's how 228 has cut the grooves into their wheels, looks pretty straightforward.
