My team used the treads in 2010. I remember they had great traction and were pretty durable. Turning the robot was something you always had to be concerned about. I never drove that robot, but i remember hearing that you couldn't just jolt into a turn. You had to slowly guide the joystick. It also had great pushing power. We tipped over a robot one time. The treads did have their flaws though. At our regional, after the first practice round, one tread snapped. The extras we had ordered were still being produced at the factory, because we figured we would just order another pair for off season events and future use. Luckily, someone was able to get a hold of another tread company on the west coast to ship it to us in new york overnight for us to use for the weekend. Also, i remember at an off season event, the treads had a tension problem that kept stopping us in the matches. Overall, they worked pretty nicely though. Hopes this helps
