I bought a gotrax and switched to solid tires (bought the solid tires on amazon).

Getting the new solid tires on was super, super difficult and strenuous. You basically have to pour boiling water on the tires to heat them up and then use dish soap, clamps and pry bars to get the tire on. Very difficult. Probably worth it but still...

Also, side note the gotrax is pretty decent but it wasn't really designed to be taken apart. The bolts for the front wheel (for example) are hidden under a glued reflector on the fork. You basically have to break the plastic to get to the bolts.

Hmm that could be plausible. I wonder if they can reliablely, repeatedly drop bombs/grenades like that?

Additionally I think when they drop individual grenades like that, they have a camera that can pan/point down. The camera visible in the photo seems to be pointing forwards.

It looks like a bunch of triggers on an FPV drone with a bomb strapped to it. Likely when the drone crashes into something hard (vehicle, building) those wires will touch or somehow trigger the attached explosive to detonate.

There is an XCom joke in there: 97% to hit... and you missed.

Yeah, agreed. It looks like it could use a bit more squish.

Did you try putting anything on the surface to assist adhesion? Hairspray? Glue stick?

DuckDuckGo seems decent.
