Traction devices must not have surface features such as ... hard plastic studs, cleats...that could damage the ARENA.

W tread versawheels are hard plastic, and have what could be described as studs and/or cleats. .

Added the rest of the rule with emphasis. Barring catastrophic failure (ie. getting caught on a defense and grinding the wheel into the carpet) I don't see the tread falling under R6.

The thread created because another thread was derailed has been derailed. Or should I say de-air-ailed?

It's cool, we needed a place to vent without further tangents in what was initially a really nice thread. Probably just ignore most of the stuff in this thread (though even still there are a couple of gems of info-based interpretation).

Sounds like a pneumatic device....

Venting air is always a good thing 😉

Especially at the end of every match!

It's semantics I know, but technically any wheel damages the carpet by regular driving. Then the discussion is "what is significant enough to consider" and we're basically back where we started, rules interpretation. I wouldn't call a team out for using versawheels as an inspector.

Welp, we finally reached that point of the season. Everyone has gone mad.

Not quite yet. My team is trying to figure out what is this year's functional equivalent of the Simbot's breathtaking Supersonic Harpoon. If we find it, then we may have gone mad in the process.

This topic is blown all out of proportion.
It seems you are all at the point of over pressure.
So you just need some release or valve to dump that pressure.
I will reserve any further comment and hope the topic tanks.

:p

Sanity is overrated: open your mind to the possibilities.

Are all the airheads in California pneumatic devices?
