Definitely agreed. 4 events with obstacles like bridges and bumps is very good for a plastic wheel, especially since the failure isn't at the hub of the wheel.

It is a solid product, but with the recent spur of teams who get to play 4-5 events a season + offseasons, I don't think you should be expecting that kind of life out of most parts of your robot. Those wheels had a good run, more events of rough driving would be asking a bit much out of them, I think.
