Well, I was thinking about cutting out pizza slice shaped pieces of Lexan and riveting them between the spokes. Though I should say that the wheels did make it through all of the Lone Star Regional and qualifying at the Championships before they broke.

As for the video, it was in the Quarterfinal 4-2 for Archimedes but it wasn't shown on camera.

edit: Yes those Andy Mark two-speeds and their infinate power coupled with my (overly) agressive driving probably did contribute to the downfall of the Skyways...
