Team C will complain that they wanted the 1/2" bore, not 3/8" Team D will complain that there's only two of them. Team E will complain that their robot can't turn because of IFI.

Teams complain about everything (We want 4 wheel drive! The chassis is flimsy! etc. etc.). How would this be new?

Why do they send out any wheels
at all in the KOP? And yet, they still do each year. Every KOP gets the same type of wheel, and, if going by last year's example, you can pop then on the kitbot frame and have a working drivetrain. If teams don't like it, they go make their own or buy different versions, just like it's always been with Skyway. Again, how would this be new?
That said, the thought of an ordering system a la pneumatic cylinders crossed my mind, but if these end up in the KOP, I just expect everyone to get the same 2 or 4 wheels. And if we don't, I'm still getting them.
