Yes, I am waiting to hear from Andy Mark. These wheels seem to be pretty grippy. But I think the drive train can over power the cross section.

It was 1967 that had suffered the wheel failures, the wheels survived CVR without a problem, the students then added an extra pair of cims (4 total with the kit bot transmission), and added a little more defensive components that moved the CG up slightly. This caused a more hoppy robot, which also got into a few serious pushing matches. We actually broke 3 wheels throughout the event, one being last year's high grip that another team had loaned us. I don't think the wheels were bad, just didn't survive the abuse we were putting it through...

Here is an example...

Thanks to the 3-4 teams that loaned us wheels (the team didn't think the wheels would break and didn't pack any extras), including 692, 3933, 3482?, and others!
