You are also not a 150 lb robot driving over the top of it.
As Don clarified (Thanks), my question was not "have you warped your disks by shooting them?" Abusing them was the first thing we did, and there's no destruction here. We have indeed over-compressed them, jumped on them, dropped steel bars on them, slammed them between robots and walls, and yes, driven straight over them--and not just with robots. Before you assert that competition conditions can't be simulated, think outside the warehouse a bit ...like, you know, the the driveway. Four times both directions under my car, and it still files like a beaut.

I'm not trying to assert--because that would be speculation--that there is no way these disks could become seriously warped in competition. I am asked how you think it would happen, though.
