Generally the published results were fairly reflective of our results, but we ended up with more noise than I was expecting, for which we couldn't find any real trend or explanation. We also found that the blue nitrile wore better and handled dust, etc better than the roughtop. (No numbers--a reflection that's reminded me to belatedly add wear testing to our summer procedure.) Colsons are somewhat better on the bridge, but by the time we did the switch we were using our real robot (CG around ~15") and we always tipped before falling* -- at well over the bridge's maximum angle. We haven't done much wedgetop testing yet--on the summer list.

*EDIT: Do'h. Absolutely need to point out that this test was conducted with our pivots at 45deg angles. Wow. My bad.
