Re: 2014 Game Ball Damage

The wheel was the 6" andy mark molded rubber wheel am-0940.

https://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0940.htm

We had a 2012 version with the non-white tread, but per the AM page, they are the same wheel save for the pigment.

It appers to be the same wheel presented in the Ri3d pickup here:

To be clear, I'm not saying the design is bad. I'm saying that if you run the wheel too quickly, you may run into damage.
