Re: 1727 - Killing our Omni Wheel

Definitely be careful. It seems it is still possible to bang your wheels up from the side with a considerable amount of force with this year's field. That 1/4" aluminum plate the robot hit in the video bent a 3/8" aluminum wheel about a quarter of an inch (or so).
