The 3" Smush Wheel offers an ideal balance of compact size, high grip, and controlled flexibility, making it a popular choice for FRC intakes and ball-handling mechanisms. Molded from a soft, deformable rubber compound, this wheel compresses under load to maintain reliable contact with game pieces, improving capture consistency while reducing bounce and vibration. With a mid-sized 3" diameter, it provides a versatile mix of maneuverability and surface engagement—large enough for stable, high-speed intake performance but small enough to fit into tight packaging. The compliant spoke structure allows the wheel to conform to uneven or variable game-piece geometry, increasing throughput and minimizing jams in conveyors and indexing systems.
