Ah, here we go. Here's a picture of me demo'ing the robot (note Omni's in back) to some middle schoolers in 2001.

Note that 190 also used Wonder wheels in 1999 and 2000 on their swerve drive chassis with 15 degree-canted, 6" wheels.

Aces High had them on their bot in 1999 when they won nationals, the wheels were officially called Adam's wheels, named after Adam Q. who designed the set and who was a high school student and driver that year.
