We keep using it because of the weight savings but we have to be very careful with it.
It never ran against other robots but it drove well. Each wheel was a single reduction off of a CIM which kept the gear meshes simple. It was incredibly flexible (both a blessing and a curse) which made for constant contact with the carpet. Never had cracking with the 1/8" PC even with the cold bending for the flanges.
