Someone Has Actually Reinvented the Wheel

They said not to do it, but it has been done. Advanced technology research by DARPA led us to this moment.

thats kind of neat

for instant improvements to tactical mobility and maneuverability on diverse terrain

how many pebbles does it take to destroy the mechanism

I bet they wear down fast and provide shitty stopping power in standard round wheel configuration on paved surfaces. And as PottedMeat said, i bet debri, rocks, and sand will wear the internals out pretty damn fast.

Wonder how they hold up under the weight when an updated, armored version slams down on the setup. How fast can they stand to travel too i wonder.

That's got to have a horrid maintenance ratio.

Just replace all wheeled vehicles with Ripsaws, seems more practical than this thing.
