I was primary operator on team 343 this season and would like to thank you for your comments on "Manuel Overdrive". One thing you might watch out for on your omni wheels is the fact that the small wheels on M.O.'s omni wheels are metal and this year metal was restricted from touching the carpet on the playing field, this may only be a temporary rule or permanent. Thats all the advice I have for now, but I will pass word along to our engineers and they might be of more help to you. Thank You and may gracious professionalism live on!
