We decided to go with Outback fairly late in the season, later than the other teams, and everything was just awesome. The treads were there in good time, everything went together easily, and the small amount of problems we had all we had to do was call.

To attest to the sheer brute force of these treads look at (I can't recall the match number) but at SVR 114's auto malfunctioned and drove them straight into another robot, which flipped. Most of 1458's matches show us pushing people around on defense, most of the time unintentionally tipping teams(only actually flipped one robot). The best analogy I heard as a reference to the strength of the treads was the announcer at SVR saying if this game is soccer, then our defense is more like rugby.

In short, these treads are tried, true, and reliable, I think we'll be looking to Outback whenever we might need treads in future years
