The shape of the angled roller is intended to make the overall profile of the wheel a smooth circle. If that's not done, the wheel will be somewhat "bouncy" in operation, and it won't have consistent traction as it turns. If the inconsistency is severe enough, it will be difficult to maintain a desired direction of travel.
