The BeachBots are one of two teams that have reported breaking these wheels. We are not exactly sure what is happening, but we generally have a lot of drive time on them when they break, and I believe we've done it more than once.
But the traction characteristics are exactly what we want and they are cheap, so we just make sure to have extras on hand. We can swap one out during a 4 minute cool down period if we have to.
