That is the first thought that comes to my mind when I see these. I have seen the best robots turn into spinning tops and trapped into corners with no way out with wheels like these. It is sad to say that, that is the reason I love them. They are veryyy cool looking, and I am sure they move like a hot knife through butter. Yet, I am not even going to think of changing from the old reliable traction that our cheap skyway wheels give us.

Now only if there was a locking "trick" wheel ... hint hint!

I am 100000% sure that andymark built them in mind to support a 120+ lb robot. A flaw like that will lead them to only bad business.

I think these wheels look great and I am glad to see something diffrent coming out (though they might not end up being the best for every situation). I think it is important for us all to try as many new things as possible and not get caught in our old patterns. I am looking foreward to some crazy stuff going on this season!
