"The intent of this rule is that the ROVER WHEELS be used in as close to their “out of the box” condition as possible, to provide the intended low-friction dynamic performance during the game"

Anyone hoping to wear their wheels before the competition as an advantage for traction needs to give themselves an ethics check. FIRST rules, as we all know, are about intent, not lawyering.

In your case, it might be unavoidable wear and you might not have the budget to replace the wheels. However, if you know wheel wear is going to be an issue, pick up some more if you can to comply with the intent of the rule.
