the one thing I noticed at the last AWS was that the really grippy wheels seemed to collect a lot of dust. I'm assuming that , like a lint roller, there is a danger of the stickyness going off because of this That's the problem I had with the aluminium Solarbotic wheels, they were very grippy at fi...

The wheels are cool! Where did you find them? Btw all great jobs guys, I am amazed, very well done!

Thanks a lot! Being still a rookie, I can't really tell what's useful or not. Thanks again for the help, it's very appreciated

Helpful as always, thanks Joey Now you got me undecided between the Tamiya ones and the Inertia Labs ones!
Oh btw, changing the convo for a second, I've got a question that's been bothering me since a long time... how thick must HDPE be to resist against spinners?

Hello people :) This thread is mostly for the roboteers who use the Tamiya tracks on their robots. As always, I have quite a few questions... How much do they resist against spinners? Do the wheels fit the Pololu motors? If not, how can I fit them? How much grip do they have? How much do they weigh?...

I am no expert whatsoever,but as a start point... I have canvased opinion in the past on various different forums,and Google Sketchup has always been looked upon favorably,probably bacause its free!! But it is easily accessible,and it is easy to share designs with others,via the "warehouse&quo...

That looks awesome, well done :D Btw, since we're in the convo, how much time is there between each fight for the same robot?

I went for the Hyperion too (because of a comment about them by Joey ). This might be useful but I believe the choice is between the 120 and 180mah ones.

ahah I never thought of that, actually Thanks Peter

That looks great and I love the design. What is it made of? Anyway, I still can't figure out why your bots keep reminding me of Matilda
