I bet something like this would work for a corner climber, too. Yikes!
I'm curious as to what sort of compression you're putting on the discs, because longboard wheels don't compress much, if any. Have you prototyped a pneumatic wheel shooter? How would you say it compares, if you have?

Easy to modify for gearboxes and motors huh? Custom machine your own hubs for them? Most longboards I've seen are unpowered dead axles.
