Hi everyone,

Our team is building a robot for the RCJ Rescue Maze competition and we are looking for wheel recommendations.

The robot uses 4 Pololu micro metal gearmotors and needs to reliably handle the floor tiles, 25-degree ramps, and speed bumps without slipping.

What wheels, tire materials, or brands (like Pololu, BaneBots, or custom 3D printed TPU) have worked best for your teams to get maximum grip in the maze?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,
across the last couple oft years custom made Tires molded from Silicone-Rubber have kind of become the standard in the rescue maze category and they work extremely well.
Apart from them I can also recommend the Lego 81.6x15 Tires if you think making your own tires might be too complicated for the first year.
