in addition to 73 I try to help out team 1511 so with permission i thought i would share their custom wheels with the CD community
Very nice. Delrin? Also, what is the tread and how is it attached?
It looks like the tread is pop riveted on or bolted on. They look really good, I wish my car’s wheels could look as good as that.
the tread has 4 screws where the belts come together(2 on each side) but the rest of the belt is held on by epoxy epoxy. i can;t remember the type of plastic they are made of but even with the tread they weigh less then the wheelchair wheels.
“custom wheels from a rookie team?” :ahh:
O that is right. Those wheels are awsome.
It almost looks like a nylon type material. Highly durable (not much less durable than aluminum), and it has a little “give” to it.
Really really really cool! I sure hope the rest of your robot is as cool as those are.
