I believe we ended up changing them almost everyday during competition..

Any reason as to why the banebot wheels were able to pick them up better? Did they just have better traction, or was there too much compression on the urethane wheels? Was it some other factor?

EDIT: I've been informed it was most likely the difference in durometer.
