With the pneumatic wheels the frisbee can fit under the rubber and still have traction while the 2010 cannot.

Has anyone tried using a thicker (as in tread width, not diameter), non-pneumatic wheel for a shooter? Given that tread placement relative to the frisbee seems to be a major factor, a thicker wheel might work better, right? My team is working on a prototype with the VEXPro traction wheels widened to 2" vs the stock 1", but I was wondering if any other teams have done so already.
