Yes, we were! Those wheels were horrible! We replaced them with the AndyMark plastic omni wheels for our second regional and did not have a single problem at Davis.

And to continue the thread, we were penalty free at Davis... despite being the only robot to earn a yellow card at the regional. (High speed ramming in autonomous doesn't go over well with the refs. Our driver was much more careful than our programmer (me).)
