it's a tradeoff really... softer wheels, you'll loose speed, harder wheels, yea, like you said.[email protected] wrote:Thank you all for the suggestions. I am using 1/4" rod with some plastic box cap for wheels
This is creating inconsistency in distance and allignment. I am planning to order and use bane bots (but felt like shipping charge is more and thought of checking for alternative with less expensive !!!)
Based on all your suggestion, looks like it is worth trying bane bots. But next confusion is which Shore value to order 30/40/50/60. I can rule out 60 Shore as it may not give good grip and lead to skid. Anyone please confirm which Shore value wheel is good or you already using
it took us many trials to figure out what worked best... and that's pretty much what i push the kids to do... they need to figure it out.
it's not a magic formula that you plug in and build a kit and get it done.
part of the Science Olympiad that is basically the true beauty of it is the fact that the participants need to figure it out.

and still quite a bit of trial and error but with each phase, identify the problem and work to solve it.
so, you should work it out because what worked for us may not work for you.
