FLL- How to stop your robot losing traction!

[@nadavbukhin1055]

This happens to my team last year and we decided to use different wheels this year

[@toomuchworktoolittletime]

Thanks!!!!!!

[@philso7872]

Both my teams conducted tests, independently, and verified this. Switching to wheels with black rubber treads greatly improved the traction. They had to adjust the design to account for the wheels being a different size.

I have found this also, particularly under weight when using a large attachment.
One of our teams used the 86652
wheels and had amazing results, setting the Australian record. They are the most consistent wheels I have seen used in FLL.

Thanks so much!!!

The blue spike wheels is not good. It have a really small contact area with the groud.
I recomend the Technich 62.4 x 20. Its the same diameter and better.

Amazing😍 may you send build instructions 🙏

This particular robot design is available as part of the Competition Ready Course. Nextlevelteacher.com

Hi, where to find the building instructions for this robot ?

[@nextlevelteacher]

It's available in the Competition Ready Course. At nextlevelteacher.com

Are those front wheels privide better performance than using the usual lego balls?

[@nextlevelteacher]

Yes- I have found the robot can drive perfectly straight. I noticed an occasional slight wobble when starting robots that use the ball caster (particularly when using a gyro drive straight code).

Hey, just a quick question, do you think the wheels are gonna build up dust if I only use the robot on a proper FLL mat?

[@nextlevelteacher]

Most likely!

[@AkiSuits]

@@nextlevelteacher It seems so, I noticed the dust buildup after a few runs today 😅
