The Tom (6" Smush Wheel)

The 6" Smush Wheel (The Tom) is a high-grip, large-diameter solution designed for FRC mechanisms that require maximum reach, strong compression, and consistent control over large or irregular game pieces. Built from a durable, flexible rubber compound, this wheel deforms significantly under load, creating a wide, high-traction contact patch that improves intake reliability and reduces game-piece bounce during high-speed operation.

With its larger diameter, the 6" Smush Wheel (The Tom) excels in primary intakes, extended-reach roller systems, aggressive ball acquisition setups, and mechanisms that must pull in game pieces from greater distances or over wide bumpers. The compliant spoke structure allows the wheel to wrap around oversized or deformable objects, enhancing capture consistency even in chaotic field conditions.
