2.75" Anti-Static Omni-Wheels have just been added to the VEX Website!
More info on this transition can be found here.
They are currently only available for purchase on the US site. Note that we have not yet received these wheels, and the earliest they will ship is July 1st.
Are these the same thickness as the new anti-static 3.25” and 4” wheels?
Yes, according to the CAD, it is.

I’m excited to see how these new wheels perform!
quick question:
Since it has been suggested by many vex employees that ESD is not a problem within the V5 system, why is it necessary to be naming so many of these new wheels as such? Also, if VEX is selling “Anti-Static” wheels and field tiles, when will we see “Anti-Static” electronics components such as the V5 Brain and the V5 Radio?
