Re: Team 696 Design, "Reinvent the Wheel"
Dear Brad,

Believe me, we tried it. We wanted to be like JPL/NASA, where they created every worst case scenario possible for the Mars missions. The wheel actually self-centers the innertube! We were quite relieved.

Also, if we reverse the wheel while we're driving, we can prevent opponent innertubes from getting in our way. The wheel simply flings them aside.
