I tested seven different wheel types and shapes in four challenging conditions. I was curious which wheels would be more effective - standard Lego wheels or custom ones?
Write in the comments if you are interested in models for 3D printing of custom wheels - I will post the information on my website.

Creality Ender-3 V3 KE was used to print experimental parts.

Any ideas on what other custom wheels would work for Lego vehicles?

If you ever feel useless remember siege strider was included in this video

Should have done a supplemental tug-of-war in loose soil - hard and smooth surface was unfairly biased to rubberized wheels

Milky Way's Tug of War with Golden Grip Snail was BS, his gears were slipping. I call for a re-do with proper gear support

Golden grip snail fan. But man the beetle made a hard comeback.

Characters in Dr Seuss books would roll up in vehicles like these

Honestly my favorite was StepMaster Cruiser. Such an interesting build, i am also suprised that he did so well in the challenges!

Making the tracks out of 3d rubber or even just the slices would have been a nice idea and more fair for the tug o war part

I rly liked how the DualTrack Dom came out, it's my personal favorite the extra room on the top might allow for some excellent cabin designs for the crew

Yup! Looks like we all need a second video, but with all of the vehicles carrying their own battery packs and fully equipped with rubber feet! Especially for the step master. Maybe using boat-shaped feet for the step master. Like, make it flat, but with a very slight boat-shaped curve on the bottom. That would make it comparable to the traction the beetle gets.

StepMaster Cruiser won on style alone, I mean, did you SEE that moon walk in the tug-o-war?

9:00 StepMaster turned on Michael Jackson mode.

Model "Golden Grip Snail" the best and cool! I like it😊

Tug of War would have been more fair with a force meter mounted at the same level as the chassis, and all vehicles having rubber traction. Like the 6x6 was being pulled upwards from the back
@zenbonimusic7308 10 days ago

I think if beetle bots signature motion was mirrored in it's rear it would have stood a better chance. Definitely a unique concept!

Needs 6x6 independent suspension per wheel

I feel like the stepmaster could be so much more effective with "shoes" in its feet.

This need a second one. Before my vote I want head displacement, wet muddy ground. Water axel high on stone surface, water axel high on muddy bottom, ice flat surface and top speed.

I absolutely loved the dualtrack domintator design.

My favourite in this one is definitely StepMaster Cruiser! Such an interesting and playful design, working really well, except for grip being low
