I can attest to that. We were using the 2011 kit bot for a demonstration at a school, but found that the robot was not driving correctly (complaining loudly when turning). Guess what we found when we checked our wheels (which had no spacing between the sprockets and wheels). Every single bolt was loose (resulting in alignment issues which caused the chain to make noise), and the treads had been destroyed.
