that's what everybody asks! It also happens to be the most amusing part! those arms flail around and it turns!

I saw this on facebook, seems like a neat idea, but aren't you woried about wedges getting under u easily?

also idk if you thought of this if you switched to thinner steel tube you could wrap it in wire and make an electromagnet just so you get more traction.

1: It looks like the wedge is made to scrape the floor, so that probably won't be an issue.

2: If the wheel/body was hit by any spinning weapon and got a ding, the electromagnet would be dead due to broken wires.
