These wheels have not been tested in an environment as abusive as this year's game. And it's not just these wheels breaking. teams are breaking wheels of many different types as well as axles, frames, and many other robot parts.

Andy and Mark are busy people, I find it remarkable that they manage to do as much as they do during competition season. I expect they will take a look at the Plaction wheel in the offseason and decide if it should be improved or if the issues are caused by abuse that the wheel just isn't, and won't be, designed for.
