I could probably guess due to your absolute love, but did you encounter any serious side loading during competition? (That will save Madison from needing to bother so she can go work on her next bit of magic!)
Nope. We made sure to use steel pods so that side load would be adequately dealt with -- and it was tremendously robust over two regionals where we played massive defense, crossed the barrier 1+ times a game, and did lots of bridge balancing. The only malfunction was losing tread on an AM performance wheel, and that hardly counts. (Even with only three treaded wheels, we humped across the barrier that last game.)
