In my limited experience with those tires, I've found them to be resilient. Obviously, the wire mesh of the 2003 game was a special circumstance that was destructive to all sorts of tires.

They are resilient just make sure you are:
A) Really careful in modifying them
B)Make sure those tires do not become damaged.
Once the tires become damaged they are really just shot. The rubber on those things disintegrates fairly easily.

Well, that's precisely why I don't like extrusion. The fasteners aren't terribly secure and can slide all over the place inside the t-slots. When you need to keep things in line or in certain spots, extrusion makes it harder.

Actually the first season I was in the robot rolled off the table. The only thing that was wrong with the frame afterwards was that the wheels were off a bit but that was due to our innept drilling skills more than dropping it off a table. Plus I am pretty sure reading about using a torsion wrench to tighten the nuts which I am fairly certain that not a lot of teams do.
