Re: VersaWheel vs Traction wheels
We used VersaWheels this season and really liked them. Like other teams have said they do ware but when they are new they hard to beat. The idea that they lack lateral traction is a bit more complicated I think than people are making it out. A new set of VersaWheels that still have their corners when pushed sideways (for instance in a t-bone collision) dig into the carpets like cleats. It's pretty hard to move them.
It will be interesting next season when VEXpro releases the tires for their traction wheels.
