Our robot did not strafe as fast as the robot in that video, however wheel speeds will be different as well. We used the AndyMark wheels for a while before switching to the VexPro wheels. (Funny story, we changed them out Friday night at a competition, some of our other team members thought we were crazy... rightly so.) We like the VexPro wheels more than the AndyMark wheels because they seem to run smoother and are more solid. (Note: the AM wheels we have had already seen a fair amount of use, new wheels may act different.) As for speed I think the VexPro ones seemed a bit faster, but I'm only saying this from recollection, not fact.
