Depends. 330 goes through a set of center wheels per event, roughly. They also drive the robot to its limits or until they get kicked off the practice field. (The practice robot? Double that.) Those are pneumatic casters.

The other year we used pneumatics was 2004, and we spent most of the time on the bar, so the wheels didn't get a lot of wear.
