Those Tetrix wheels have GOT to go.

Sweet hat by the way. :rolleyes:

Looking good Aces, it was fun to pair up with you guys and 716 at Shakedown. I hope the final days of build allowed you to tune the shooter in. Good luck up in Canada.

They probably will.

Tetrix wheels have been removed due to a lack of weight. Apparently they’re not only bad at climbing polls, but they’re also heavy as bricks.

Oh, that hat? Yeah, I still owe Mr. Foss $20 for it apparently. :rolleyes:

We did take them off to test the new tensioning, but we did put them back on due to one of the mentors wanting them. We may find that in Montreal we need to remove them due to weight issues.
