How large are they? Based on the actual picture, I can't tell.
The OD is 9", the hub diameter is 2", and each roller is 1" diameter x 1.5"L.

Weight is 2.7lbs vs ~2.4lbs for the Skyway Bead-lok, but could be brought down to about 1.7lbs by replacing Aluminum with Polycarbonate. It'd look like this. These wheels are BEEFY, but the pictures don't show it. The roller axle size was increased from the Technokats design.

I wasn't involved with FIRST last year and didn't see your robot. Do you have any pictures? I checked your team's website and didn't see any from 2003.
