Oops. Uh.... chute door?

We haven't done any tests with pre-2015 rollers on a Recycle Rush field, but recommend making the switch if you still have any kicking around. The "break these" tests that Aren described above were for the 4" and 6" wheels with new rollers. This test was essentially a refined version of those, on a realistic field, with a camera rolling.
