I was speaking with a mentor from another team. they had done extensive testing with wheel types. They found that a soft pneumatic tire, partially deflated, achieved the best "grab" on the Frisbee. He described the performance as" when the disk goes through the pinch-point, the tire wraps around the edge; compresses to conform to the Frisbee shape.
