Seriously, don't forget to take into account that these wheels are running at speeds they were NOT designed for. Make sure anything you attach to them can handle the speeds.
Well we've probably run the shooter wheels, in total, for over 2 hours of run-time and nothing has ever gone wrong (this is actually an insane amount of time considering robots are typically not run for very long times).

When you couple the strong adhesive and with the centripetal force of the wheel, there's no way these puppies will fly off.
