Product Overview

Compliant wheels are not intended for moving robots, but moving objects. Compliant wheels give way to allow rigid objects to be manipulated easily. A line of multiple wheels on a driven hex axle creates a very effective roller that ignores variations in the objects being driven. This makes for high-performance intakes and internal conveyors.

Different durometer ratings give each wheel unique characteristics. Green wheels (35A durometer) are the softest and most compliant around objects, while orange (40A), maroon (45A), blue (50A), and black (60A) wheels are increasingly firm. The increased firmness also allows the latter wheels to carry a higher RPM rating. Check out the downloads tab for a chart showing wheels and their maximum RPM. 
Please note maroon wheels are only intended for use in FTC. If more powerful motors are used to drive it the spokes may fail.

The Nub Bore wheels are designed to work with our line of Nubs.

    Compliant wheels

    The green ones are pretty soft but work as drive wheels even if they are not intended for it. The black ones are pretty hard. I have not had the ones in between but wish I bought them instead of the black ones.

    compliant wheels

    we recently purchased both the 3" and the 4" compliant wheels. while we are happy with the wheels, it would have been better to have the hole pattern option for actobotics on all the wheels

    Easy to install and hard to break.

    In my 4 years in robotics, I have yet to see a broken compliant wheel. These things can stand up against lots of abuse. I would like to see an even softer wheel then the ones currently available.
