I am not saying that it won't work... I am just interested in seeing how that changes things ... if at all...
I'm interested to see how people will put legal bumpers on this system.

It's also a lot more efficient and reliable than treads by a good margin. I'm waiting for the rude awakening many teams (especially newer teams) will have this year when they go to their first competitions without spare treads or extra batteries.

997 used to do a mean tread system...then the team realized that spending 300 per tread was not realistic.

Re: Pneumatic Wheels vs Treads
I remember some teams use to use belt sander belts for tracks. There are very specific reasons you see the rules in the book that you do.

the 2-day lead time is for the base belt only.

"The standard lead time for a base belt with a back cover is one week, with Linatex having a two week lead time due to the curing process. Lead time does not include shipping time."
