Can you tell us what specifications you ran these wheels at? Tube pressure? I imagine they are quite heavy, did you make a custom hub or any modifications to the wheel? How did they interact with the defenses? Do you have any close up slow motion footage of how the wheels got your robot over everything? The wheels also seem like they provide quite a bit of contact surface area, did you experience any severe amounts of drag when trying to drive on carpet?

Thanks.
