I'm eager to give it another go now that we've fattened up a bit. We weighed in at just under 97lbs at Hatboro when you shoved us. We were up to just over 110 at Lenape, but we never got in a pushing match with you guys there. Should be slightly heavier still if we reach Lehigh.

Pros: Very cheap, easy to put together, and grips very well...
Cons: In one direction. When pushed from the side, the wheel slides without much resistance. Given that when we play defense, we often block with the side of our robot, this is an issue. Perhaps this could be helped by offsetting the W pattern like so:
---~~---
~~---~~
---~~---
~~---~~
Of course, this would probably make the wheel more expensive.

We found the direct opposite with 1712. The points would dig into the carpet when pushed sideways, almost working like a cleat. We'll continue to observe this as the wheels continue to wear.
